I would buy the M8 and spend the 1K on a lens, ...five years later, this combination will worth more than the M8.2 for sure.

M8 is better, 1/8000 speed and 1/250 flash sync - major +
Hello folks,
Fairly new to RF, and recently decided to get rid of all my Canon gear and take the leap to get me a used M8. But, then comes the question. Should I go for an M8 or should use the extra cash for the M8.2?
I can get the M8 for aprox 2850 USD, and the M8.2 for aprox 3900 USD.
Is it really worh splashing the extra 1000+ to get the upgraded version?
I would love for all you to say YES! Because then I wont feel as bad for using the extra cash........but it is a lot of money. Or, atleast for me 🙂
Any thoughts appreciated!
Rgds,
Chris
Thanks both! The M8 for sale is upgraded with the latest firmware where you can use the discreet mode. I guess spending a 1000 grand on upgraded framelines and sapphire glass is a bit to much.......but, I do love that black dot tho 😀
Easy to replace the red dot with black

How does one go about doing that Jeff?
Thanks Joe
Not if you don't use flash -- which advertises your presence anyway. I prefer a quieter shutter, and losing faster flash sych is no penalty whatsoever for me.
I genuinely don't recall the last time I used flash with a Leica, and that's not just advancing years destroying my memory. It has to be decades.
Cheers,
R.
I'm using M8 almost every day with Broncolor Mobil, and very often outside, I'm in need with short flash sync as possible.
The framelines however, I guess I'll just learn to live with it!
