I have been using the Leica M8 for just over a year now. Never had a rangefinder camera before. This is a digital camera like no other.
It is small, built better than any other camera, and has operating software devoid of unnecessary functions.
The simplicity of this manual camera makes it a joy to use and makes the user a thinking photographer again, freed from the size, weight and complexity of the DSLR.
Needless to say the RAW images (never used the jpg output) are fantastic in terms of colour and sharpness and you have a large choice of Leica, Zeis or CV lenses. The current FW has resolved the niggles experienced by early adopters. The use of IR cut filters on the lenses is a must but you get 2 free with the camera.
Problems:
None
