I believe so
You can try Leica LTM lenses with adapter or some voigtlander M mount lenses.

If you aren't buying the Noctilux, there sure are. Mind you, you'll be relegated to the bargain bins of KEH and Adorama, but you can find them.

I would suggest a 21mm (28mm on the M8), 35mm (~48mm on the M8), and 50mm (~67mm on an M8) of some sort.

If you get an 18mm (24mm on M8), spend some money and get the Zeiss copy. Architecture / wide angle lenses from them are worth the money.

21, 35mm lenses from Voigtlander are reasonable in comparison to the Leica lenses. They are also flatter / smaller w/ standard hood threads. Stay away from Voigtlander ultra-wide lenses beyond 21mm as they suffer from pretty bad shadowing at the edges. The Skopar lenses are my favorite.

Leica 50mm LTM and M-mount alike, are the best in the world at this focal length. I own a Summicron (aka 'cron) Dual-Range 50mm f/2 myself (had to shave it down on the back to fit, but its awesome) that has been modified, and a Summarit 50mm f/1.5 that has 12 blades so bokeh is ridiculous. It will be a little soft, but I shoot wide open and prefer it's look. Some people hate it, and most love it.

If you buy something older than 2000, have it cleaned.

Ye - I consider one of the best people to work with. He's fast, does a great job, and if you want to keep a lens for a lifetime, have it cleaned / CLA'd by him.

Also, the M8 is a bit slippery. The Leica plate + grip is one piece and is _the_ best to hold the Leica with. Do not get a cheap knock off, because it could rip / ripple your base plate.

Good luck.

Get the Leica Summicron 50/2 Rigid on the M8, that is the only one you need to get started and produce the most wonderful black and white photos.
