My M8 has been a worthy successor to my M6s and MP. Frustrating at first for me, no doubt. First of all, you had to get those filters. Mine originally had a bad sensor and had to be replaced. I also had it back to Leica twice to get the rangefinder adjusted to be just right with the Noctilux. I had a number of lenses sent in to get the coding. Months went by with each step. It was frustrating. I admit, there were moments when it felt expensive and foolish. But after all the dust settled, I had a camera that could really take some nice photographs. I could forget about the machine and think about images. What more can you ask for in a camera? -rei Ric Carter wrote: > luckily, M8 is adequate for my meager needs > > is the M8 the ultimate camera? --of course not > > but, if no pictures are being taken, who needs a serious option? > > so much noodling -- so few shutters clicking > > ric > > > On Jan 24, 2010, at 8:15 PM, Mark Rabiner wrote: > > >> Because the camera was a disaster that's why.
