Max Alfy Posted May 20, 2009 Share #1 Posted May 20, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I recently browsed through Michael Freeman’s CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY – The New 35mm Handbook, and smiled reading on Page 20: [ATTACH]142102[/ATTACH] I never knew my M2, M6 & M8 are all based on leaf shutters! So Leica, tell us what’s the real difference between M8 and M8.2? Max Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotografr Posted May 20, 2009 Share #2 Posted May 20, 2009 Is it possible the writer's reference is to the S2? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Alfy Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted May 20, 2009 I don't think so, the book is from 1996! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted May 20, 2009 Share #4 Posted May 20, 2009 1996 - he must be referring to the Mini-Zoom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Alfy Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted May 20, 2009 It was definitely the M6. Max [ATTACH]142114[/ATTACH] Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

earleygallery Posted May 20, 2009 Share #8 Posted May 20, 2009 Some Leica's do have leaf shutters, early LTM cameras. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted May 20, 2009 Share #9 Posted May 20, 2009 Some Leica's do have leaf shutters, early LTM cameras. Right.. and having probably bought a Compur Leica, we can excuse the author in respect of his age... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
