Want to know what the M8 looks like?

For all we know, Leica could be introducing a full multi-flash system based on triggering and metering via a new flash with slave capabilities - a "28D" or "32D" (I skip "30D" to avoid confusion with the Canon camera).

 

or simply a shoe-mount adapter, as Mark says, perhaps with its own voltage protector so that folks can't fry the M8 circuitry with a 2000-watt studio strobe.

I can't beleive that no one has pointed out the obvious lack of a flash socket!

 

Well I brought this up originally in another post.

I use a manual hand-held flash which I connect to my Digilux 2 with a Wein HSHSB adapter but, for the M8, I wish I could do without it, especially sense I intend to have the flash shoe already occupied with a viewfinder.

 

I think this would be a very valid reason for including a flash sync socket on the M8.

i did bring up the PC outlet on page 5 . If it is not there than this photo is a fake. Leica will NOT leave that off the body.

 

I quote myself

 

Firewire should be on left side of camera and only on left side. if you don't see it than this is not real. No OEM will ever put that anywhere else but there. battery and card can and probably do come from the bottom and maybe share the same door. Is there a PC outlet again that would be only on left side and most likely next to lens. these two things are almost never ever anywhere else

A quote from that famous movie.

 

Frankly my dear I don't give a damn

 

End of story.

He pauses slightly after 'dear', so it's really: 'Frankly my dear, Idon't give a damn.' ;)

I'll check it! But I'll have to get the DVD - I've steadily refused to for years because I hate this film with a vengeance!!

 

It's like what you and our friend Gérard made me do a week ago: went out and bought my first Duchâble recordings (I have about 6,500 records and CDs and not one Duchâble recording, until last week!) just because I value you chaps' opinions. I'll be reporting on that soon...

 

LCT, if he does pause... you're paying for the DVD! :D

Yes, you are right, Steve, and many people who still have a "problem" with this word.

What they need is a good, healthy dose of Chris Weeks. That should get them worrying about more serious matters... :D

Ha ha! Just click on that link old chap :D

He pauses, LCT...

 

I can't believe that a music lover such as yourself missed the pause...

 

He pauses.

A pause is a semibreve = 4 crotchet rests my friend, so no pause here i'm afraid... ears.gifclindoeildroit.gif

LCT, a pause does not necessarily always have an absolute value in terms of musical notation, and is therefore not always written as such. It can be as much a matter of phrasing and inflection, and this is the case here.

 

And you'll see in the recording that the pause comes through in terms of pitch. Put it thus: if you drive up a sharp mountain peak and descend down the other side, you may not pause at the peak in terms of actually resting there, but you certainly aren't going to be applying the same pressure on the accelerator as you were when you were ascending as you cross the peak and start heading down, when the most likely thing is that you'll brake as well. That difference is a pause in terms of inflection, and it will be reflected in the sound the engine makes.

 

End effect, he pauses. :)

A pause is not an inflection but an interruption IMHO, here a silence that i hardly hear in Gable's voice.

Now perhaps the noun 'pause' has not the same meaning in English as in French so i leave it to you my friend. :)
