Beautiful! I just wrote in another post that now that I need to send my M8 to sensor remapping, I would like to have the Leica name engraved in the top plate and upgrade to the vulcanite of the M-E. And the black dot... uber nice! Did you chance the dot yourself? Regards, Ricardo

Yes, I did the black dot and leatherette myself. Wasn't too tough, especially the black dot. You have to twist the red dot with your fingernails left and right until it twists all the way off, then gently place the black dot on and viola!

 

If Leica does those changes when you send your M8 in please let me know what they are charging as I would love to have an engraved top plate.

can someone explain what anti-panda is?

 

My M8 looks pretty similar, I think the box says that it's "black chrome"... I also changed my red dot for a black one so it seems more stealth... :)

cool!....I've never seen one but after the initial novelty of it has worn off, I think I'll stick with my stealth black M8... :)

...although I have a chrome 35mm Summicron-M ASPH which might attract a little more attention...

The chrome lenses in the Safari edition makes on hell of a sexy combo...! For me the best looking camera ever :)
