Guest leica_mage Posted August 27, 2006 Share #62 Posted August 27, 2006 Hey! i'm not an insider trader, K.P. I know nothing more than you do. If so, I know you're at least intelligent enough not to fall for that transvestite job posted by a monkey which replaces its photo at the same time that it comes under pressure!!

kenpops Posted August 27, 2006 Share #63 Posted August 27, 2006 I RARELY post any messages but as we are all entitled to vote 1) Body fake but an excellent effort. 2) I feel a mandatory need to get involved when a bet is involved - particularly when one side's signature is so unique. ergo - K.P.,- even if you picked wrong, I'd have had to back you - Sincerely, KP (I don't believe I've ever used punctuation when typing my own initials before) Sincerely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat_mcdermott Posted August 27, 2006 Share #64 Posted August 27, 2006 The pictures have disappeared off RFF overnight. Someone has got cold feet or else had a legal boot applied. Roll on 15th... Not only can't I access the M8 thread (though the link is still there) but the thread with photos of the new Tri-Elmar and illustration of a Universal Viewfinder (which looked sort of naff, I must say...) is gone in its entirety.

geoff Posted August 27, 2006 Share #65 Posted August 27, 2006 My mind is going back and forth on the reality on this representing the M8. In otherwords this might not be an actual Leica sourced image but a hack rendering done of a discription from someone who has actually handed a unit. The back panel buttons match that of the Digital-Module-R which makes sense but omit the physical controls for ISO, white balance, moiré and so on. Welcome, dear visitor!

As for the "M8" transvestite (complete with hairy legs!), it's not even going to be called that, as you probably well know. The funny thing is not that, but the fact that on the 15th September, nobody is going to say that K.P got it right. Right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted August 27, 2006 Share #67 Posted August 27, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) So how is it the leaflets which come back from Solms with newly coded lenses refer to the camera as the M8? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosuna Posted August 27, 2006 Share #71 Posted August 27, 2006 OK how about being bothered a bit, Steve?I bet a bottle of cidar that it's not a fake. For two bottles, Leica will launch two lenses as well. For three bottles, these lenses will be a 28/2.8 and a 16-21/4. and a new external viewfinder 16-28mm?

stunsworth Posted August 27, 2006 Share #72 Posted August 27, 2006 Hi Ruben, I'm really not bothered. I expect the M8 to have the general shape of what's been shown, but I'm not convinced the image represents what will be launched. If it looks like it, it looks like it. If it doesn't, it doesn't :-) Personally I find myself quite prepared to wait another two and a half weeks ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosuna Posted August 27, 2006 Share #73 Posted August 27, 2006 Personally I find myself quite prepared to wait another two and a half weeks ;-) Sorry, I dont. I am too weak :mrgreen: I hope the concept of the real camera is very minimalist, just like that of the famous pictures. My only complain with those pictures is that there is no room at the right back of the camera for my hand, I think. The control wheel is too big. Maybe is only a problem of perspective.

If you can manage a small favour, could you carry a small hardcopy of the real release with you to Paris as that will be my first opportunity to see 'it'. Of course, if 'it' looks as currently touted round the web, don't bother, as I have seen that look. Cheers, Erl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted August 28, 2006 Share #75 Posted August 28, 2006 Erl, no problem. If I can't get hold of one in time we can go to Blvd Beaumarchais. This is the principal camera shop street in Paris with maybe a dozen shops or more on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted August 28, 2006 Share #76 Posted August 28, 2006 and a new external viewfinder 16-28mm? Ah yes! i forgot that one. K.P., 4 bottles of cidar for the Universal Viewfinder 16-28mm? He he!... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
