 Re: M8/Leica People I'm Thinking About Switching | |
One can be subjected to a lot of abuse for telling the truth about the M8. I trust that those who don't rate the M8 are as entitled to express their opinions and offer advice to a fellow FM'er:
I agree with bdickers: a Nikon D90 is a far better choice.
If you want to use Leica glass, a Canon 450D is a far better image maker. Stick a Leica R 28 f2.8 on it if you like that flat dreamy look, or a Zeiss 21 if you like 3D. Needless to say, a 450D gets spectacular results with a huge range of lenses including most Leica R, Contax, Zeiss ZF/ZE, Nikkors, and the not to be sniffed at gems from Canon such as the 24 f1.4 mk2, 50 f1.2, and 70-200 f4 IS. It even does a great job with a cheap Canon 24 f2.8. Better pictures, with far less hassle, for a fraction of the money. That goes for the D90 too.
