Black or chrome?

[J. Borger]

If you see the silver & black version together the silver version looks significant larger to me.... so i'm in doubt .. i think the silver version is more beautiful but the black version catches less attention!

I prefer Chrome, it's more classic to me.
Anyone know why Popflash is just taking preorders on black M8's?

 

[Cooki]

Film of course.

 

[Grober]

If I win the lottery I'll buy both. I'll keep the black one and donate the chrome one for the next RFF competition!

You are truer than you know: most of us will end up owning TWO of these beasties just like we did when Leica Ms were "only" film.

My first two were double stroke M3s.

A chrome one was ordered.

 

[Jan Brittenson]

Tony has my order for BLACK!

Yep, mine too!

Just to prove what kind of a person I am, I voted for chrome in the poll, then went and ordered a black one.
But the fact that the new 2.8 28mm is available only in black decided me...

There are hardly any chrome lenses left these days - even the chrome aux finder has been discontinued. I still think a chrome body with black lenses looks great though.

I have two extra black ones! Help my wife is going to kill me!!!

Black. Less conspicuous. Chrome is too shiny.

 

[ww@lt]

all my M's are/were silver ....
but the M8 being a lot thicker than the previous M's looks a lot better in black in my opinion...
so if I get mine I guess, I will go for the black version!

 

[Richard Marks]

I went for whicever came fastest. OK so its chrome but Im up and running. My impression is that very few black M8's have hit the UK. (are they purple with a wrap around IR filter?)

 

[Xmas]

The poll is missing the purple option - smack wrist ...

I wonder if Leica have any customers (for M8) who are not forum members?

Actually I wonder if Leica has any customers that are forum members? 🙄

 

[Kim Coxon]

Not that I am getting an M8 but it would have to be black. 😉
