New M8 or new lens for my MP?

Not true- the prices are rising... the lens will be more expensive in the future...

Experience has learned the last 30 years that you can best invest in Leica lenses instead of Leica camera bodies!

M lenses always keep their high value in price!

The M8 will cost you at about 3 years a fraction of its present price!

For example you can buy now a R 8 for about €700,- Its orginally price was around €2500,- The price inflation of Leica bodies are considerable!

Hmmm, better to buy Leica digital products then. The Digilux2, about 1500$ new and totally obsolete in digital terms by now, is selling on the Bay for prices between 750$ and 900$.......

Then you buy an 'obsolete' camera for too much money!

You already have too many lenses .. zand the 24 is really obsolete since you already have a 21mm & 28mm ..... so buy the camera!
For investment i suggest no lenses and no cameras ....... but something completely else 🙂

John7614,
Buy the M8 and crop your 21mm photos to the 24mm frame. Skip the 24mm lens.
