albertwang Posted September 5, 2006 Share #1 Posted September 5, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Okay, I'm wondering with all of the hype about the Leica M8 why there aren't any images from the camera itself? We get the L1 pictures all over but somehow the lack of M8 in-camera pics makes me rather restless to check up high ISO performance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michiel Fokkema Posted September 5, 2006 Share #2 Posted September 5, 2006 Hi, There are pictures on http://www.rangefinderforum.com Cheers, Michiel Fokkema Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertwang Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted September 5, 2006 I meant pictures taken by the M8 camera, not a photo of the camera itself Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie Posted September 5, 2006 Share #4 Posted September 5, 2006 Presumably they are subject to non-disclosure terms, as the camera is. You are not going to admit to having taken such and such a picture on an M8, unless you want unwelcome night-time intruders! Also you would kiss goodbye to any future trust on the part of Leica.

earleygallery Posted September 6, 2006 Share #5 Posted September 6, 2006 You want to see photo's from a camera that hasn't even been officially announced yet?.... Patience my friend! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leica will have carefully guarded these images. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertwang Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share #7 Posted September 6, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hmm... true but I'm surprised that people haven't complained to Leica to see these potential images... if those are truly groundbreaking, I would think that Leica be proud to display those!

Guest guy_mancuso Posted September 6, 2006 Share #8 Posted September 6, 2006 9 days left on the 15th i am sure we will see photos and all the info we can get. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertwang Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share #9 Posted September 6, 2006 cool, what is special about the 15th by the way? I presume that is leica day? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat_mcdermott Posted September 6, 2006 Share #10 Posted September 6, 2006 cool, what is special about the 15th by the way? I presume that is leica day? While I don't think it has been officially announced that this is the day we all see public images of the M8, and hopefully sample images as well, it seems that all the reliable sources say this is the day when the veil of secrecy will be lifted.

albertwang Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share #13 Posted September 6, 2006 Good thing too. Leica days seems discounts I suppose. So the M8 has a discount then too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted September 6, 2006 Share #14 Posted September 6, 2006 I wish there was some discounts on leica gear. It's painful to buy this stuff but man do i love the images:D Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertwang Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share #15 Posted September 6, 2006 Guy, You will never regret your purchase of Leica ever, seriously. I believe that Cannon has been one of the most overmarketed hype with its pretty Sharpova and plastic lens elements ... The images are magical. I get no magic from the N and C bunches M8 would be nice but one day the jackpot for me! AW Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted September 6, 2006 Share #16 Posted September 6, 2006 I agree had every Canon DSLR and the Nikon D200, Nothing brings home the bacon like the DMR and i will go right out and say it ahead of time the M8. There is no freaking way this would be less than the DMR and i already heard better in area's that we all are concerned about. The only thing i may move to is a MF and right now i don't like any of the bodies for it. So i will see what Photokinia brings but i will always have some sort of Leica until they close the box.

albertwang Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share #17 Posted September 6, 2006 Actually if Fuji was smart, I would want a digital version of my GW690 or a digital GW670 V3... Yes, that would be even better than the M8. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabek Posted September 8, 2006 Share #19 Posted September 8, 2006 I wish there was some discounts on leica gear. It's painful to buy this stuff but man do i love the images:D I have a plan - I am buying weekly lotto tickets fully expecting to win enough to purchase an M8 and a handful of lenses. This is also part of my retirement plan. Whether intended or not, Leica must be loving the frenzy and anticipation out here among Leicaphiles.
