A couple of months ago, I got a new M8 (black). It was love at first sight, and I found myself using the camera to the exclusion of my Nikons. After about 2500 shutter actuations, I have had no problems with it. Zero.

I upgraded to 1.092 with no difficulties.

The images from the M8 are beautiful, and working with a rangefinder suits me just fine. The M8 is a beautiful tool for certain jobs.

As a wedding shooter, I really require a backup body. I had been using my Epson R-D1 which was a good camera to me, but now she has been replaced.

I went on over to Ace Photo in Ashburn, VA today, and they sold me a new M8 (chrome). In trade, they took my R-D1 and a D2x. Now I've got a single system with which to shoot weddings, and I'm looking forward to the next one.

If you're searching for a new M8, Ace has a black one in stock and they are expecting a chrome one and more black ones in a few days. I've dealt with them for about 5 years and they have always treated me squarely. (703) 430-3333.
