Leica M8 Price
Digital Leica M cameras always looked out of my reach when I used to use a Nikon DSLR. Just too expensive. A new digital Leica camera cost is still is crazy expensive for the majority of the population (including myself!). The good news is as time passes the older Leica M bodies become cheaper and more affordable. A Leica M8 price is now less than many used DSLR cameras. The M8 still offers the Leica quality and you can use your Leica film camera lenses on it. I still enjoy Leica M8 wedding photography today and clients seems to love the look (see my Leica Wedding blog posts).
Beautiful.
All of them, specially that one with the “odd” focus… I don’t see any calibration lack though, just a very shallow depth of field. Nice
Thanks, yes touch wood the M8 has lasted far better than the M240 which has already been recalibrated twice!!
I never needed it but it seems it can be calibrated removing the red dot.
Congrats on the post, Matt. You deserve every recognition and I hope your business is doing exceedingly well – in terms of the type of work you’re doing and the rewards you secure.
Thank you Scott! I have to thank Elie for inviting me to contribute 🙂 ..just digging out some unseen M8 photos to share on Flickr from my New York model photography workshop last January 🙂
Hi Matt, thanks for your help! Your pictures are stunning!
Elie

Thanks Jeremy. Haha yes strangely I love mine more now than I ever have..must be like afine wine.. improves with ages! 😛 I hope you manage to get yourself one. Matt
