jim13csulb Posted March 7, 2012 Share #1 Posted March 7, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hey everyone I am a student on a limited budget. I currently have a classic m6 with a 50 f/2 and a 28 f/2.8. However I have been really wanting to get a hold of a digital m to shoot with. With this in mind Ive been saving for about a year and a quarter and have come up with 2000.00 and have really been shopping around, catch is I leave in a week for a trip to Ireland and initially wanted to find a digital m to shoot with. Ive found two locally that are being sold by the owner for 2100 and 2250, but one has had its shutter replaced, and the other is heavily used. I have 3 options, I can just take my m6 and shoot with that and wait to save more for a 8.2 or a nicer 8, purchase one of these m8's and take it on the trip, or possibly find a demo or rent a m9 to take on the trip save my money and buy a better 8 or a 8.2 I know this seems like a very personal decision, but I was really hoping that with everyones experiences you guys would be able to help me make the best possible choice. -James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
