Hi I am a newbie with a Leica M8. I found in the M8 a wonderful camera with minimalist operations and a super cool alternative to my M5.
I have decided to got a M8 because many bad reviews were posted....I said to myself they is something wrong with those ''teky weeky boys''. They are all jealous, there is a conspiration agains Leica.....bad sensor, obsolete technology, ISO limitation poor resolution LCD, bad features...and so on.
But for me the M8 has proven to be an effective camera for B&W pictures and holding the M8 is like holding a part of the Leica heritage....not a piece of ''futile'' technologie.
