Black or chrome?

[Harry Lime]

I pick a chrome one...

I can't believe how pristine your cameras are...

Thanks Harry, you mean the ones in my sig... Yes, I'm very glad with them.

Definitely black for me for the first one. I'm buying two though and haven't yet decided whether to have two identical or one of each.

Photovillage retailing the M8 for $4795. What's Tony Rose's price?

I'll go for the chrome myself as the finish is more durable. Been seeing too many marks appear on my black M7 and M6.

Film TYVM, Still more special and magical than any Digi, Leica or not 🙂

BLACK is beautiful!
😀 And you're right it might blend in the bag better if Jan ever starts looking in it! Ha!

My first post..........so this has to be good, well thought out, and worthy of this fine group.... BLACK it is !

I was going to go chrome because it wears better when you have a magnisium or aluminum body, i.e. no color contrast........ but now I find out that the M8 will have a solid milled brass bottom and top plate. The black chrome starts to look like a nice option since there is nothing quite as nice as a golden brass patina showing thru a black finish.

Also, I have grown fond of older chrome lenses on my black RD1.

I wish I had your "problem", deciding what color to pick for the second one... 😉

Like I could even get one...😱

I wonder if GMAC will finance one for me? AHH--HHA! A new business op--financing M8s.

What about black chrome? That's my choice.

 

[back alley]

Yes. The MP's black is black paint , very elegant.

Mine will be black.

I am curious, how many M8 cameras can Leica sell in one year?

I'm sure Leica is equally curious 🙂

[Ok, not a stellar first post, but it leaves room for improvement]

Black for me, or chrome, doesn't matter.

My bet is all they can produce!

 

[Dougg]

SOMEbody will want a gold one, surely....

 

[flipflop]

I would take a black one if its a good finish and doesnt get messed easily, like the Contax G2 black finish.
