By chance I have just attended a Leica M8 day at Classic Camera. Test drivethe M8 and tried and took DNG samples home.

 

In sunmary I would say

1. Great job on design

2. I found my 21asp Chrome lense made the camera a lttle front heavy

3. Liked the fact I could use 21 without extra view finder

4. Shutter sound in between MP and R9

5. Noticed interior shots had a magenta cast. Photoshop sorted this.

6. Colour noise at 1000+asa slightly better that Nikon D70

7. Images sharpen nicely

8. Intergrated extra grip would be useful as replaces base plate so will not add extra height

9. Leica erp to contact Germany and email me details on sealing that has been used for buttons etc

 

Overall I am very tempted but will however wait for a few technical reviews before comitting.

 

Chrome order placed now expect Feb delivery and Black March
