My first pics from my amazing M8.

I bought an M8 from KEH that was rated EX+ and a 21mm f/4 voigtlander lens.

The camera didn't have a mark on it...like it was a time capsule...it only had 767 actuations on it!

This is my first tries with this system...I love love love it....it's the closest thing to my old (now gone) beloved M6 and shooting film.

If you have any pointers  I welcome them.

The M8 is probably the worst performing digital camera I've ever used and without doubt, my absolute favourite. Congratulations on a fantastic choice

Try some I/R, the sensor is quite receptive.

Great camera.

Which means, don't forget you B+W 486 filter for colour. I may be mistaken but the grass under the Flamingo looks a bit yellowish.

That’s probably my poor editing skills. I did have a filter on.

You will enjoy this new toy greatly. Give yourself time to learn its quirks. Strengths ( infra red, b&W, beautiful ccd induced colors) far exceed its limitations, (lousy lcd, relatively poor battery life, limited ISO range ). I still have mine in the arsenal of image making tools - and enjoy it greatly! Welcome aboard the M8 train.
