Hi ppl,

I am a freebie in takin photos and would like to get a M8 (any comments with that?)

i saw so much M8 pics galleries.....they all soooo nice!

[barryspc]

if money is no concern, buy one

for my money I'd buy a film leica MP or M6

[steve yan]

You should. The workmanship of the body and lens is already a piece of art for you to keep a long long time.

[pongyee]

The M8 galleries are already the best comments.

Go and get it.

i'm interested in getting an M8 too. But is the range finder difficult to handle? I have been using canon dslr so far.

i just got my M8......with 50mm/F2 so far pretty nice. Still learn by taken mistake@! hahah.....any recommendation for 2nd hand lens shop? i wanna get a 16-18-21 wide angle lens. Anyone know the mkt price now?

thks

[barryspc]

one lens to get is the Summilux 35 f1.4 ASPH

can also look for Summicron 90 F/2 or Summilux 75 F/1.4

[JFC]

how much is for 35/F1.4? must be super expensive.

[barryspc]

like all other leitz lens they are all very expensive.

an used one with good condition cost anything between mid 10k to 20k

[barryspc]

like I said, I use m4-P and I only have two lens that's the 35 f/1.4 and the Summicron 90/2 pretty much all I need

[barryspc]

since your M8 has 1.3 crop rate

perhaps you can look for the 28mm elmarit for everyday use as well

[vaworld]

The best range of lenses of M should be from 28mm to 50mm, other than these, you have to use optional viewfinders for wider or very small & inaccurate views for tele.

My opinion, M series are just toys for rich people rather than serious photographers today.

[JFC]

then i might as well grab a 21 or 28mm/ F2
