My friend just handled the M8 !!!

I hate menus. And they seem so un-Leica-like. Obviously there will have to be a UI with menues, but still.
 
Today I have seen a photographer testing the M8 in Madrid. It was in "El Escorial".
He carried a lot of Leica cameras.
I took a picture of him...

Jorge, I have two thoughts( questions ) :
- What will be with wide angle?( if I want to shoot with 35mm speed lenses(F:2)- I don't have 35 mm after crop factor... where is full frame ?)
- Noise on ISO 800 and up...?
 
Right now, I still don't like digital photography, but who knows how I will feel about this issue a year from now. I agree with Frank that common sense suggests that the price of a computer based camera should go down and not up.

I like the idea of the latest M fitting over your head...
You truly become one with the camera!

Not fitting over, implanted! Truly become one with the camera, Borg style. (Star Trek reference)

Resistance is futile. You WILL be assimilated. We are the Borg.

The Borg didn't have any style. They consumed anything in their path, asked no questions, and operated under the same thought. A very unified party. Once a few were unplugged from the Collective, they became textbook cheesy, with horrible sense of fashion. They so needed a Wesley Eye for the Collective Guy.

(You may now groan) :cool:

Harry, yes they have said you can use uncoded lenses but they have also said that the features which make use of the code will not be available.

I would be shocked if the included RAW converter didn't let you apply the same in camera lens optimization routines in post.

I am sure it will, providing the camera has recorded the lens type in use in the EXIF file header.

The R-D1 knows nothing about the lens but its raw conveter lets you choose what setting you prefer for vignetting for instance, then it would be surprising if Leica don't do the same IMHO.

The Leica will almost certainly use DNG, so you can use any RAW converter software. I seriously doubt Leica has the software chops to develop something superior to Adobe, Apple or Phase One (Nikon and Canon can't get their desktop software act together either, despite vastly superior resources and longer experience with electronics and software).
 
M8 Ttl

M8 Ttl

The M8 TTL will come out one year after the M8. It will have backward knobs, and be larger. The M8 will then be called the "M8 non-TTL" or "M8 Classic"...

Any info about TTL flash on the M8?

majid : nikons raw converter "nikon capture" is a super application, there is no better software to handle one to one image.
 
I really had to laugh at the program setting for "Bresson"... and the film advance is there to ...cock the shutter?
