Hi from Manchester UK

Just wanted to get involved with M Leica having seen the unique image quality

that these cameras and lenses produce unlike any other camera I have owned.  

 

I was working to a starting budget of £2000 for Camera+lens+filters+case+spare battery.

Think I may need to update this.

 

I Purchased a used M8.2 in excellent condition (9600 shots)  and a f2 zeiss Biogon 35mm lens.

With the first test few shots so far I am super excited with the results using without an IR cut filter.

 

I need to ask Leica for a free IR cut filter (if previous owner didn't have one).

 

Is there a Leica photo enthusiasts club in North West of England/Cheshire/Manchester areas?

 

Following Thorston Overgaard for inspiration as I am interested mainly in street photography.

 

 

Thanks

Welcome to the forum. I presume you've been to Stephen's Premier (Leica Store Manchester) they're great guys and always willing to help and give advice. Not heard of any Leica clubs in the area but there are a few of us locally. 

 

Best wishes
