marknorton Posted April 9, 2009 Share #61 Posted April 9, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) My spies tell me this white camera is for real and that, unlike the Safari version which is/was limited edition, they will make as many white cameras as required. Half a dozen should just about do it, then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Hi marknorton, Take a look here New WHITE M8.2. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
farnz Posted April 9, 2009 Share #62 Posted April 9, 2009 I understand that the sound of the shutter in teh White M8 is different from other M8s. Apparently instead of the normal "ker-chat" sound, when the shutter release is pressed it goes "blingggg". Pete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJP Posted April 9, 2009 Share #64 Posted April 9, 2009 also favorite stealth camera for vampires, the red dot even matches their bloodshot eyes. Burning question: can you photograph vampires? We all know they are invisible in a mirror. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicoleica Posted April 9, 2009 Share #65 Posted April 9, 2009 (edited) also favorite stealth camera for vampires, the red dot even matches their bloodshot eyes. Burning question: can you photograph vampires? We all know they are invisible in a mirror. You must be able to. There are a lot of Vampire movies out there, and they'd be pretty boring if you couldn't see the vampires. Just don't try using a reflex camera. Edited April 9, 2009 by Nicoleica Sudden thought!

I'd forgotten about that. Let's just hope that we never meet a Vampire Medusa then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyoung Posted April 9, 2009 Share #68 Posted April 9, 2009 Not so sure about the white or the safari body, but the chrome Elmarit looks cool. Oh no, surely there should be a white paint lens for it Gerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NB23 Posted April 9, 2009 Share #69 Posted April 9, 2009 I thought differently of Leica users. But I stand corrected there are Leica customers and there are Leica used gear buyers. I understand all the jokers and attention beggars in this thread are the used Leica gear buyers, the ones Leica is not even remotely trying to reach.

NB23 Posted April 9, 2009 Share #71 Posted April 9, 2009 Which group does that leave you in then? Pete. When I buy new, I allow myself to criticize if I am unhappy. When I buy used, I shut up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicoleica Posted April 9, 2009 Share #72 Posted April 9, 2009 When I buy new, I allow myself to criticize if I am unhappy. When I buy used, I shut up. Then please don't complain when there are a few of us who have a sense of humour. For your information, I have purchased 4 new Leica cameras, 2 new Leica lenses, and many accessories this year. These were to replace cameras that I had sold off last year when I was given 3 months to live. So please don't accuse me of not buying new Leica equipment. Also, what is wrong with buying used anyway? If there wasn't a thriving used market for Leica equipment, then far fewer of us would be able to afford that first step on the ladder. 40 years ago, I traded my Zorki for a very well used M3. Since then I have worked my way up to owning new Leicas. But I couldn't have done that without the used market being there to buy my old cameras along the way! OK, I'll get off my soap box now.

stevem7 Posted April 9, 2009 Share #74 Posted April 9, 2009 Not bad, but it would be dirty within a day or two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NB23 Posted April 9, 2009 Share #76 Posted April 9, 2009 Not bad, but it would be dirty within a day or two. Simply not true. The Camera's finish is not porous so just as with cars, Black cars are the ones showing dirt the most while White cars look cleanest, all the time.

adan Posted April 10, 2009 Share #77 Posted April 10, 2009 I've owned a white car - they scuff, they get dirty. Silver or beige metallic hide road grime best and have a hard clear overcoating that washes better. As to the white camera - of course, one could always use it as a white balance check. Just carry a small mirror and shoot a quick self-portrait under the same lights as your subject. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver or beige metallic hide road grime best and have a hard clear overcoating that washes better. "hard clear overcoating" is the key word. Since the white Leica will be chrome or even paint, and since the general idea being that lighter in color actually hides dirt in the best way, there is no way this white camera will get dirty, as some people tend to think. I am absolutely positive on this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

egibaud Posted April 12, 2009 Share #80 Posted April 12, 2009 maybe a good solution for refreshing the sensor and avoid hot pixels :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
