John Mr Woo knowledge of cameras and lenses is amazing.You can see the passion in his eyes. I was holding my Leica Q3 thinking to myself how much history there is and how far the current technology has come. I only wish we had another 50 years to see it!

R8/9 both have faulty designed battery pack release latch , if the the tension release screw is turned in the wrong direction , You won’t be able to open the battery pack AT ALL.

The sudden end at 7.01 …. Is that linked to the start when it states this is the first part of the Leica R8 ? So did he stand on the camera ?? Anyway good introduction to the hunchback……

I like the stranger Leica stuff, like the M5 and the R8. The SL line is another good product that never captured the public imagination. I heard Leica are to discontinue the SL range due to poor sales.
