Thanks Joshua (that's your name I hope). It'll be my walk around 50, with a noctilux for special purpose. A 35 lux will likely be the main lens, and I'll just use these 3 for quite a while....Peter

Okay who picked today in the pool?

Guy, you really should have found a way to setup this whole Leica thing through Amway. You could be retired by now.

Well, you have about a month to bump the number up to 5 or 6 until the M8 is available. I know a certain Mr. Mancuso who supposedly started out with 3 lenses also.... I think he is working on his 5th now ?

I just wondered what happens if the M8 would not fulfil our expectations regarding IQ?

Probably many M-lenses on ebay

I am really surprized how much lenses are bought without knowing, how good or bad they work on the M8 (specially we do not know yet, how good non-coded lenses would work/how much vignetting we would see)

A thought about the microlenses on the M8. Do you think it will be implemented in Leica's next FF R10? They would kill Canon for some areas of photography..

Now that would be a big blow, wouldn't it? I feel confident that the IQ will be just fine however. Actually, I am pretty happy shooting film again using my M6 but I just miss the instant gratification of a digital system...

i am just a little concerned whaz we read about 8-bit raw-files, for example here: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1038&message=20479105

Overall I also think that the IQ will be very good.

Ok, since we are in the middle of lens talk, I MUST pass on a thread on RF forum; question about putting Canon (sic!) lenses on an M8.

Scout's honor

I was going to ask a question like "..geee, picked up some tires at Walmart, can I modify them to mount them on my "S" class Mercedes"

But they are lobbing enough mortars at me over there for my (genuine,) 8 bit question...

Sean,
thanks a lot for your work!!!!
I guess with the M8-hype there will be a lot of people subscribing your excellent site so the fee will go down for next year

on the other side I see alot of work coming when you test all those lenses on the M8.

Specially with the smaller crop the corner quality can not be compared with the 1.5 crop of the rd1, right?

Is it really worth having the MOUNT changed on a Canon? are some that much better than Leica's?

Dont mean to be a Leica bigot (well, not entirely :-)) but remountng for Canon glass? I need to see it, esp with so many older great leica M glass out there at good prices
