jamriman Posted January 2, 2010 Share #41 Posted January 2, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Sale pending on my M8.2. All glass stays along with my R-D1. R-D1 is good enough for me as a back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 Hi jamriman, Take a look here Has M9 inspired you to sell M1-M8.2?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
PeterP Posted January 2, 2010 Share #42 Posted January 2, 2010 I have no interest what so ever of selling anything to purchase an M9. I will wait for the next incarnation. Still looking for better ISO performance. In addition I have no problem w/ the 1.3 crop. As a matter of fact I will probably pick up an additional 8 or 8.2 body.

Alnitak Posted January 2, 2010 Share #43 Posted January 2, 2010 Yes, my 8.2 is going up for sale shortly. I will possibly add a second M9 as a backup, but maybe not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noah_addis Posted January 4, 2010 Share #44 Posted January 4, 2010 I sold my two M8s and two MPs for my two M9s. I'm keeping my well-used M6s, but I don't really know why. There are no good labs in my city and I'm loving the prints I'm getting from the M9. If it weren't for the UVIR filters, I may have kept an M8 for backup, but it would be too much of a pain to be constantly switching filters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsrockit Posted January 4, 2010 Share #45 Posted January 4, 2010 It was hard enough for me to buy a very used M8. I will not buy the M9 until a few years from now. Next for me is a big sensor compact camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Lea Posted January 4, 2010 Share #46 Posted January 4, 2010 I will sell my M8.2 and my m7 to help pay for my M9. I will keep my M3 that I've had for 35 years now. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberto Watson Posted April 6, 2010 Share #47 Posted April 6, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Never sell a Leica,you will regret it.. Nevertheless, I am playing with the idea of selling one of my M8s, but then again, maybe not.... For a strange reason I`m into this religion, I try to give use to all my M bodies, I gave away my canons, my nikons, I would give away the sony any day, but this perfect jewels I keep them at least to play with and take pictures once in awile.

colorflow Posted April 6, 2010 Share #48 Posted April 6, 2010 Sold M6TTL after getting M8. Sold M8 after getting M8.2 and realizing I rarely bring both bodies with me. Sold M8.2 after getting M9. Also sold two 3F's somewhere along the way. But will keep M3 and 3G with matching Leicavit 'forever". Now the real question is what to do with R8 and R glasses which I have not used for year and half??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamiji Posted April 6, 2010 Share #49 Posted April 6, 2010 Yes, a few months after buying my M9, I sold my M8. Keeping my M7 though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KM-25 Posted April 6, 2010 Share #50 Posted April 6, 2010 A few months ago, I was pretty sure I was going to get an M9 next year, but I might wait it out even longer. If I do get one, I will sell one M3 and M6 and keep the other M3 and the MP3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shade Posted April 6, 2010 Share #51 Posted April 6, 2010 Yes, I sold my m8 away (traded it in) when my M9 got here.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveYork Posted April 6, 2010 Share #52 Posted April 6, 2010 I purchased an M7 instead of an M9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redridge Posted April 6, 2010 Share #53 Posted April 6, 2010 gonna wait till the performance takes a giant leap from the m8.... would rather spend the $$$ on glass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andalus Posted April 6, 2010 Share #54 Posted April 6, 2010 Bought M9 a week ago. Sold an MP to fund part of purchase. Kept three fine lenses and will never sell them. Not sorry to be done with film. It was increasingly becoming a hassle, logistically and financially, although the M9 was hardly cheap. Happy with new camera! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted April 6, 2010 Share #56 Posted April 6, 2010 Sold the 5D2 to rationalize the FF M9 purchase. No regrets. After only a couple of weeks with the M9 I realize that my beloved M8u is getting no action and I will never use it again unless the M9 crashes. So, the M8u will soon be in the Bay and I'll use the money to buy (rationalize) glass. Hey Jappv, I always listen to your reasoning, so why not sell your two M8's and put it into a second M9 backup? You shoot enough that if your M9 went down it would sure seem nice to have a backup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latecomer Posted April 6, 2010 Share #57 Posted April 6, 2010 I sold just about everything to pay for the M9 (said to be arriving this week) and an X!. This included an M6, M8.2, D700, Hexar AF, F100, F3, F4 ..... I have kept a little old Nikon for film (an FG) and will use the glass my wife uses on her Nikon DSLR. I know I will be substantially restricted by my new kit. That is why I have taken this step. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted April 6, 2010 Share #58 Posted April 6, 2010 You bet. I have an M8 late model black classic ready to go and will probably also de-accession an M8u which recently got a CLA and new sensor to replace a line of hot pixels. Both of these have little red tags saying that they have been to Solms for a timely blessing. I'll keep an M8.2 for use with longer lenses where the UV filter isn't a headache, but the allure of getting a second M9 and working only with those is too strong. My M2 has been with me for many years and deserves to continue, although it is used mostly to show the kids how film works. scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shoot enough that if your M9 went down it would sure seem nice to have a backup. I have no rational answer, but I won't. Anyway the M8u is valueless anyway as it has my name engraved on it, and I keep it in the back of my car as a go-anywhere-take all-the-kicks camera and my M8 classic is the first M8 sold in the Netherlands, so I'm keeping it out of sentiment.

marknorton Posted April 6, 2010 Share #60 Posted April 6, 2010 I find it very difficult to part with gear even when it's been clearly made redundant by what's followed, which is why I still have 2 M8u's, which feel really sorted and I still use, plus that one which has probably the lowest value of any working M8c and is paired with an ancient 50mm Summilux as my go-anywhere-take-all the-kicks camera.
