How many Leica M8's do you currently own?

[ZebGoesZeiss]

This is one of the questions that I've wondered about. Just how many M8's are owned by the RFF crowd? There are supposedly 20,000+ of these out there, but how many of these cameras do RFF "represent"?

Hey, I just learned I can see who voted for what.

Oh, I am a zero.

Only if the poll is set up that way, Moderator 🙂

We are missing -1 (meaning I would sell it immediately if I had one).

I've always been skeptical of polling data...

Three people here own FOUR M8's? 😱 😕

as my photo teacher sometimes calls me.....rich bit** but thats just because im such a quality kind of guy har har....😎

but really...who the heck?

 

[rover]

If they really do......


do you need to adopt a son? maybe take on an uncle? need a chauffer?

Zero, as in 0.0000. I'm scared off by the price, the IR issue, and trouble reports, as in "My M8 just died." I bought a D200 instead; but my favorite digitals are the Digilux 2 and the D-Lux3.

Edit: Why would you need four M8s? Let's see: One in the shop, one to shoot with, and one as a spare; but what is the fourth one for?

No choice for a baker's dozen? Seriously though, I know of two photogs who I believe have two apiece -- both are working pros.

I haven't voted. Makes me queasy.

Curses! I've just checked, and I'm a zero too 🙁

Aye.

I'll wait for the "how many fingers do you currently use?" poll :angel:

 

[bmattock]

I have an M9.

There are four now and I can vouch for all of them, it has to be true anyway it’s the internet

🙂

 

[Sparrow]

I have an M9.

Is it less noisy than the M8?

 

[bobkonos]

How many of them work and have NOT been returned to Leica for repair???

 

[bmattock]

Is it less noisy than the M8?

Um, sometimes. But other times, it is REALLY loud. I take it you have seen the M9 yourself.

 

[leica M2 fan]

To one of the mods, please remove me from the poll stating "one" I have no M8's place me in zero. Operator error and not reading correctly. :bang:

....to put in the same climate controlled vault where the sealed and packaged M3ds, M3ss, M2, M1, M4, M4-2, M4p, M5-2lug, M5-3lug, M6, M6ttl, M6 gold, M6j, all other M6s and M7 have been waiting...?

With this thread question, are we talking about the real-world or my fantasy-world?

 

[Sparrow]

only to look at, didn’t get a go

 

[Gabriel M.A.]

There are a lot of hanging chads in this poll.

I move for a recount.
