twolniewicz Posted March 11, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 11, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just picked up a used silver M8, ca. 8000 actuations. Bought the whole kit from previous owner with 35mm f/1.2 ASPH (silver) Voigtlander and 15mm f/4.5 ASPH (silver). Its my first rangefinder in a long time. I used to have a Smiena when I was growing up (my fathers' camera) and then later a Zenit. I used to be a canonite before this one. I've had a 5D, 1D2n, 40D, EOS7e, EOS-XI over the years with a number of L lenses (50mm f/1.2L, 16-35mm f/2.8L II, 70-200mm f/4.0L IS, 100-300 f/5.6L...) Took some fun pics with it last night with the M8: T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wda Posted March 13, 2010 Share #14 Posted March 13, 2010 To internationalize this thread, Welcome from an Englishman! I wish you many happy years with your rangefinder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
twolniewicz Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share #15 Posted March 13, 2010 Thank you all, I'm surprised there are so many members here from my neck of the woods as well as from all over. Unfortunately it was a bit soggy in Ottawa today and the forecast looks gloomy for tomorrow too so I'll be limited in the use of this delicate and weather sensitive camera. Best wishes, Tom.

Jamie Roberts Posted March 14, 2010 Share #16 Posted March 14, 2010 Understand I'm *not* telling you to take your M8 out in the wind and rain, but I don't think of it as "delicate"... As luck would have it I've shot it in many an unanticipated thunderstorm and consequential downpour...outdoor weddings don't just stop when it rains So it may not be weatherproof but it's at least as good as any other digital camera I've ever used.
