By Herr BarnackHere is a short review of the M8 - if you are thinking of acquiring a copy, this information may be of value.
The evolution and advances of digital photographic technology has left the M8 by the wayside, but as the author of this review observes even with its limitations it is still a capable image making tool.

By SarkaDear all, I am totall new to the leica digital world. I currently brought a M9 in a excellent condition. But one thing makes me a little bit wondering: sometimes the LCD display shows me pictures with strange rings. It happened very often when I shoot in-door under poor/artificial light source. the rings disappeared when I shoot under higher iso (1600 or higher).
Leica Care told me it is normal. The camera have to compress the original photo extremely to be able to show it on this small LCD screen. Due to the bad resolution and colour depth of the compressed picture, these rings may appears.
The explanation by Leica is quite OK. But yesterday I have the chance to try a Leica M8.2. It doesn’t show any rings when shooting under the same condition. Now I am really confused.
Can anyone tell me if it is normal bei M9 or my LCD is somehow defect?
Thanks s lot for your help!
Best regards
Frank

By Herr BarnackHere is an interesting article about the M8, along with some photographs that show the camera's capabilities, if you are willing to work within its limitations of the 160-2500 ISO range:

At the risk of stating the obvious, with any Digital M camera ISO appears to be a very significant factor with regard to image quality. I tend to work with ISOs of around 10-15% of maximum on my digital Leicas (Q2 and M-P 240) in the interest of image quality.
I/Q does not always seem to be a linear proposition, though. With my M-P 240, I have made images at ISO 1600 and even 3200 that still result in exhibit quality prints at 16x24 inches, depending on subject, lighting, shutter speed and probably a whole kettle full of other intangible factors.
The M8 was a "gateway drug" for this photographer, as he has decided to upgrade to an M10. He took the affordable bait and now he is hooked! 😄
