Skippy Sanchez Posted June 29, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted June 29, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Returned from Honduras a few weeks ago and just want to report I had no issues with my two M8s. I brought my MP/Leicavit along with some 400/3200 film for a backup, just in case. Wouldn't you know, the Leicavit locked the shutter/advance on my second roll of 3200. It's in NJ now. Â However, the M8s performed flawlessly. With humidity being a concern, I kept the cameras and lenses in a Pellican case overnight with a dessicant pack, but I don't think it was as necessary as it would be during the rainy season. Â I think I shot about 60gigs of raw+jpg images, using transcend 4g-150x cards, which also worked just fine. Files were downloaded every day on a Wolverine FlashPac and backed up on a portable LaCie hard drive. For whatever all that's worth. Â You can see some of the pics at http://skippysanchez.blogspot.com/ if you're interested, but you have to scroll past some other stuff to the bottom. (Incidentally, the street photos were on an M4, the Mexico photos were shot with a Digilux 2, the Day of the Dead stuff on an old Nikon.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoran Milich Posted June 29, 2007 Share #4 Â Posted June 29, 2007 Skippy, I also just got back from Honduras in Roatan--actually its an island off of Honduras and its got an AIDS rate of 1 in 6 people. The humidity was peaked but the M8 worked fine. Check out some of the shots done on the m8 http://www.digitalrailroad.net/zoran/Production/PhotoGroupView.aspx?pbid=4&msa=1&pgid=9384904 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoran Milich Posted June 30, 2007 Share #6 Â Posted June 30, 2007 Skippy, I find that the M8 and the other M's are great for working the street and in sensitive areas. With the big digi's (Canon D's) I suddenly found myself looked at as public enemy #1. And BTW, excellent blog! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
