[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]As a long time user of the M8 ;-) I find the tri-elmars spend most of the time on the beast: digital does not equate well with dusty atmospheres, so the tri-range is great. Of the two, the original is usually the one. I also like to bolt the 75 lux on it: what a great lens/camera combination --- fast, and short tele enough to be the lens Leica wanted originally, but could not make in 90 (as it obstructed the viewfinder too much). I also now have a filter for the Nocti and 35 lux, so they are also being used as appropriate. My Dior Leica M8 comes with the 28 I think, so it may become a fixture, though in "bright" conditions, I expect one with have the TEWide and the other the TE. --- imagist3@mac.com wrote: From: Lottermoser George <imagist3@mac.com> To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> Subject: Re: [Leica] Question for M8ers Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2008 16:48:27 -0500 I'm definitely a fan of the 50 on the M8. I wish I could afford a second body. The 50 lux asph and 28 cron would live on them.
