Buy an M8 again?
Buy an M8 again?
I sold mine. It was a bit of a dud in some respects. However, it did also take some fine pictures too. It's a very good camera in many resoects and it is true that if yiu can work around it's particualr fiobles you can get some fabulous results. I just couldn't rely upon it when I was on a job. Also Leica annoyed me somewhat with their attitude and they never addressed the issues I was concerned with.
All that said, I am waiting to see what happens and if they iron out all the problems sufficiently for me to buy one again as I love Leica M cameras with a passion for their simplicity, size and weight and quality.
It is a good camera, as to whether it is better than some other cameras is debateable. However the Leica glass is second to none, and in the end that is what is important.
You wil get a lot of opinions on this, both emotional and technical, but in the end you will just have to try and test run one yourself.
So in answer to your question, I will buy another at a later date, pocket willing and improvements made, but not before.
