DennisPT Posted January 16, 2009 Share #1 Posted January 16, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) With the encouragement of Mr. Howard Cummer and the effectiveness of Mr. Richard Caplan, I got my Panda M8 yesterday. Got it checked by local Leica technicians for focusing and it's ready to go. It is not black paint but it's beautiful to me. Welcome, dear visitor!

fotografr Posted January 16, 2009 Share #3 Posted January 16, 2009 Is your intention to actually use this, or will it be stuck away on a shelf to retain its collector value? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisPT Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted January 16, 2009 Thanks Robert. It's already with me today, Brent. I am not a collector unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisPT Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share #8 Posted January 16, 2009 Thanks SJP. rob139, I'm not sure if it's a black paint as the finish looks different from the black paint MP that I used to have. Anyway, congrat! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

farnz Posted January 17, 2009 Share #18 Posted January 17, 2009 WW, Is there a reason that you got a 46mm UVA rather than UV/IR? Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfokevin Posted January 17, 2009 Share #19 Posted January 17, 2009 WW, Is there a reason that you got a 46mm UVA rather than UV/IR? Pete. Ha!!!...

DennisPT Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share #20 Posted January 18, 2009 Congrat wininhar. I took it out yesterday for some pitch side rugby shots, banged and scratched my uv/ir filter pretty well but it's a nice experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
