M8 and Eclipse

[View Range]

Did anyone take eclipse pictures during totality with a Leica M8? Without a UV / IR cut filter this should be the ideal camera during totality. I used a Nikon D5 that has the UV / IR cut glass at the sensor. A picture is posted in the eclipse thread. For my next eclipse I will use my Leica M8.

Will the M8 be operational when the next solar eclipse happens??!!

Next solar eclipse near me is 2024. Just 7 years away.
