This week, I become a MAN!

[B-9]

That's right, me! I'm the MAN!

After almost 10years of boyish dreams, I can finally afford a M8!

A generous eBayer has fulfilled my request and I'll be the proud owner of a well used but well cared for M8 with Leica Grip. All for under my anticipated budget. Which means I CAN actually afford it without fullfilling my starving artist lifestyle (I might even go out to a greasy China Buffet to celebrate!)

Obviously I am beyond Excited, and had to blurt out in a post.

Welcome me to your ranks fellow Digital M users, I'm here to stay!

I can already feel the nose hairs coming, and the irresistible urge to buy coffee and take pictures of my M8 next to it. Yesssssss....

Congratulations!

Hope you have many years of enjoyment with the M8!

 

[Thardy]

So you will take a photo of the coffee and M8 with ???

Congratulations. I'm still with a Digital Leica, but I keep hope alive.

Good for you

Congrats b9! Good for you. Look forward to seeing your results and hearing your impression. Shoot a little Chinese food while you're at it.

Congrats Devon!

Fingers crossed you don't become a Frustrated Man.
The M8 she puts out but sometimes it's on her own terms and her terms only! 😛

 

[Range-rover]

Enjoy it, there a great a camera even the Raw color files are nice along
as you get a UV/IR filter in front of it like I got for my M8, also check
the battery make sure it's the newer one not the older one stamped
with M8 on it.

Welcome to the club. Got one M8, sold it, bought an M9, bought another M8.u and cannot live without it. Great camera.

Andy, I like a strong independent woman in my life 😉

Also, Blake I fully intend to utilize the IR capabilities, as it's something I've always wanted to mess around with, the M8 is a great compromise. So a 680 it is! You might hear from me bud, as I evolve with the M8. How is yours treating you?

Thanks everyone for sharing my excitement, I promise to post photos!

Edit: can't win em' all, just shattered my IPhone screen as I tripped over my own foot. Epic win for me! Haha still stoked for the M8.

The m8 is a wonderful system...

Ive got a canon 28,3.5, 50 radioactive summicron, and 90 elmarit

Mazel tov on the occasion of your bar-mitzvah.

LOL. Those were my thoughts exactly when I read the title of this thread.

Congrats on your purchase!

 

[nikonosguy]

get a patagonean case --- the're found on ebay - made in chile - every bit as elegant as a luigi - fraction of the price of those and the [Arte di mano] cases
