I had an M8

 

Bought a M8.2 (brand new only 127 pictures taken)

 

Sold the M8 took about 3-4k pictures, since march 14th this year. It was my first Leica! I'm in love! And spending too much money on Leica.

 

That last picture is what i traded the M8 for, hurts my heart but make the bank account less close to red.

jip: is that a collapsible Summicron 50mm in your pic? is it safe to use with the M8 then? I was wondering if it would hit the sensor or be too close to the sensor....

 

It is a 1961 Elmar 50mm 2,8 :) It is safe to retract the lens into the camera!

Damn,

 

I sold my black M8 half a year ago when I got a silver M9P. No funds to keep it.

 

Cleaning up my computer I found some pictures of the M8 I took for the advertise and thought how I loved the/ my M8 with the 28 cron.

 

Opened marktplaats (dutch ebay) to search for M8's and see how the prices are, and the fist one I find is my old M8.... :(

 

I know I can't pay for it at the moment, and there's no real need since I have the M9P, but it like its calling me right now :)

 

Had this before with the 18mm SE, with ended with me buying it back.

 

I sure hope its gonna be different when I trade my M9P in for the M...

No I have to be strong :) Don't even need 2 body's, just sold the UV/IR filters and love the M9 in every aspect.

 

Maybe some day when they sell for less than 1000 euro. Just hope he finds a good home.
