The M8

These pictures are real.

I dont mean to stire up anymore controversy. However, for those that have questions about this photo. Keep this in mind.

Chrtistian Erhardt received an internal email just recently titled:

FYI - M8 Pictures online.EML

and another "Ubelievable"
 
Black and Beautiful! That's what Tony Rose is ordering for me. He said I'm #17 on the list. October is going to be a long wait. R-D1s is getting jealous already.:eek:

Chrome is the way to go :) Maybe one of each. regardless, it will be a perfect mate for the MP.

I actually didn't know if it was a spelling mistake or a term I hadn't heard about as I googled it and there was 17,000 references to the word.
 
Damn, even my misspelling have some deep dark meaning.. You know I think I might be omnipotent!
 
The price is high now: 4,300 euros.
This price and the (increased) price of the lens (if you buy one) will make a bill of (around) 7000 euros, which is a (crazy) lot of cash.
I thought Leica will keep the price of the M8 below 4000 euros, and will provide an affordable lens (28/2,8) in a kit offer, keeping the total amount well below 6000 euros.

I wouldn´t mind either of them, but I prefer the less bland look of the chrome one. The front is remarkebly similar, down to the blue dot.
 
This has somewhat died down. I thought for sure this would be a really hot topic. I guess I better post a picture of the new 28 then :)

You must be kidding us...there are at least 7 or 8 threads regarding this camera and the release date is not even close, when is it? Three weeks??
I for one have over-dosed on the M8!!:eek:

There is only so much you can say. After all it looks exactly like they said it would. Although a picture of the top plate would stir up a hornets nest.

Between (1) all the excitement surrounding the camera's imminent release, and (2) controversy over the provenance of images of the M8 recently shown here, most of us are likely a bit tuckered-out and simply awaiting the official announcement at Photokina.

Besides, given that I'm certainly not in a position, financially or emotionally, to invest in even one M8 body, let alone a pair (which, for me is the only logical number to buy for something I intend to rely on for hired and personal work), I can't say I'm one to hover over every snippet of news/gossip regarding it.

Of course, if you post a picture of that new 28mm, I promise to give it a look. :)
