Ko.Fe. Industar69 fits well on m8 with LTM-M adapter or need something else? Do you like it? Want to try one) 

 

Yes, 28-90 adapter. It will screw in fine, but lens needs to be re-aligned.

It is three screws on the focus ring scale. Set them loose, remove the ring. Set M8 on the tripod, set focus scale chart at 45 degree and one meter from camera. Rotate lens block and take test shots until it is in focus. Put focus ring back matching one meter mark. Aperture dot will be off, re-tap it.

I can't ask anything extra from 5$ lens on M8. I think, it is equal, if not better to Minitar-1 Art 350$ lens on M9. 

 

I left ten examples on Russian rangefinder forum. Focus chart test is included: http://rangefinder.ru/glr/showphoto.php/photo/102132/cat/all/cat/all/limit/all

It is sharp enough lens, with smudged corners. Just like lomography lens has to be.

Hi guys, this is my first post in this forum. Just got my first ever Leica 3 days ago.

 

Been saving my money for Leica.

 

A month ago :

- was deciding to move to rangefinder. With a saving for new gear

- decided to go for digital rangefinder. Its not easy to buy and print and film in Jakarta.

- At this moment I decided to go for Fuji X100s (some of source on the internet says its a rangefinder, please clarify)

 

Three weeks ago :

- bought a second hand Leica D'lux 6 from a friend.

- decided to get a leica after this

 

Two weeks ago :

- browsing for a Leica rangefinder on any second hand markets, no result.

- Decided to sell all of my DSLR stuff (2 cameras, 7 lenses)

- on the end of the week, finally found SOMEONE that post his leica on the market.

 

A week ago :

- Negotiate with the seller

- finally he include his lens also

 

Got the Leica M8, also voigtlander 28mm for 1500USD. I hope its a bargain. Although the screen first layer is cracked, but anything else is really okay.

read on some web, that M8 has some IR issues where it recognize Black as Purple. Havent got my hands on the IR filter yet, but havent found the IR problem so far.

I'm kinda worru if something happening on my Leica. It needs to be sent to Singapore, since Jakarta store doesnt has any Service Centre.

Good pick, the Voigtlander 28mm goes nicely on the M8, I use one myself. Enjoy the M8 is unique!
