Guest Posted August 29, 2012 Share #3 Posted August 29, 2012 Please excuse my ignorance - is it true that all black M8.2 are black paint? The Wiki is a bit unclear (to me). Cheers and TIA Philip There are silver M8.2 http://www.photoscala.de/grafik/2008/M8.2-silver-front.jpg and special editions in green and white. http://www.photoscala.de/grafik/2009/M8.2-Safari.jpg http://www.weltdergadgets.de/images/3771.jpg http://artschoolvets.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/leica2.png It's a little bit tricky on first sight, because on front of the M8.2 you will read only M8 but on the hot shoe for the flash you'll find LEICA M8.2.

philipus Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share #4 Posted August 29, 2012 Thanks for the links. Sorry, I may not have expressed myself clearly. I am wondering if all black M8.2 have the black paint finish or if they were also made in black chrome finish? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
