I will be testing out the M8 from tomrrow. The wonderful UPS man brought a large box with the brand new M8 a 28mm lens and a neat flash.
I'll also be trying out other Leica and Voigtlander lenses.
My wish is to see how easy the cameras are to use and what the experience is after having been locked into DSLR's for so long.
Now I haven't turned away from my wonderful Canon gear; far from it.
However, I choose gear by what serves me well and is fun to use too. So I am happy to take new cameras for a workout.
I'll be keeping you informed of my progress. For now, the battery is charging. That, BTW, wasn't needed with my last Leica. But that was long ago. I'll share with you that the M8 is a solid piece of engineering. I wish I had the grip as I often hold my camera with my right hand by my side and shoot in the street by zone focus, even my DSLR's. This of course upsets Nicolas! He says I shoot too many pictures and to fast But I'm the one having fun!
I am known to focus carefully too! All in good time. That battery will be ready by morning.
Meanwhile, I'm looking ahead to other new DSLR's and Backs to be tested. I'd welcome any input and review submissions.
