Great video! Really wonderful thoughts, just bought an M8!
My dream M8! Btw, are you Malaysian?
Nice video, totally get your likes of this camera.
Thank you for the kind words 😁
The M8 is all about pure, unadulterated shooting enjoyment.
The rangefinder focusing is a joy to use, there's no massive menu system, just the essentials and that’s all you need. The 10MP gives rich colors and a unique film-like character, it’s like having an unlimited roll of film (lol). I’m glad you are enjoy it. I’ve had mine for years and I wouldn’t think of getting rid of it. Great video and thanks for sharing
It is a very fun camera. My Micro Four Thirds are now my main camera for all sort of needs, but my Leica M8.2 is now my recreational camera 😁
As someone who is deep into the rangefinder rabbit hole (I started with a Minolta CLE, a Leica M3, then a Leica MP, then a Leica M10...), my recommendation is: stick to two focal lengths max. and get good with those. You wear glasses like I do - 28mm (or equivalent) is not a good experience on rangefinders with glasses, the frame lines are hardly visible. 35mm or 50mm is the way to go.
I think you're going to enjoy your M. Take your time to explore it.
Thank you for sharing! Currently I do have the 35mm, in the future I would love to add a 21mm(which will fill the entire RF frame without the guidelines).
@@Gary_W The best 21mm you will find is the Zeiss 21mm. Go for that one. Should you ever use that one on a full frame body, you will not be sorry.
@@thedarkslide Thanks for the info! Seems like a solid lens 😁😁
I have M8 and Q. After extensive use of both, I find Q to be way more filmic if i can call a sensor that. I never found M8 to be “digital Kodakchrome” like many say and there is surprising amount of latitude in RAW file. With that said, RAWs have accurate colors when just imported in ACR with particulary nice blues and browns. Q to me is way way more something that resembles film like qualities including fine grain at high ISO, it’s amazing and like nothing other I shot with.
Good to know, thanks for sharing!
I bought an M8.2 in good condition two weeks ago, because the perfection of my Sony A1 got a bit boring.
I must say, that I really like the colors you get right out of the camera. Especially red and blue tones in particular are richer and more differentiated than I know from CMOS sensors. It's not just more saturation - it's richer. Of course, that camera limits you in many ways, but as long as you use it within it's limits, it makes fun shooting it. I don't know, how long this enthusiasm will last, but when I am fed up some day, I am pretty sure, that I can sell it without loss. A much better situation compared to the M9 suffering from unstoppable sensor corrosion.
Regarding the battery: Make sure, you go through a full discharge/charge cycle by running it down in the camera and then fully recharging it. After the electronics inside the battery had this chance for recalibration, it should work pretty well.
Thanks for sharing! 😁
Gary, die besten kameras sind die MFT-Kameras. Preiswert, sehr gute Qualität und große Objektivauswahl!
Vintage- Feeling gibt es auch viel billiger als mit der Leica. Z.Bsp. mit einer Rollei.😊
I have one of these little wonders that I mainly shoot in a preset monochrome profile. The results are very nice indeed! One point about calibration. Before you start adjusting the viewfinder you need to calibrate the lens itself which isn’t hard to do. I’ve done it with the exact same lens. Just saying✌️🇦🇺
Thanks for sharing! 😁
mas gary. sekalian review long term leica M8, kelebihan dan kekurangannya selama makai sama masih worth nggak dibeli di tahun 2024? hehehe...
Siap kak makasih sarannya 😁
looking for the Leica. 8.2
A camera that inspires you might not be new or the latest and greatest. However that inspiration will lead to taking more pictures and the best pictures you have ever taken.
I agree with what you said, thank you 😁
Good video but you didn't mention its best feature... Its IR sensitivity makes Black and White photographs look Awesome..
Good point, thank you for sharing, all the best!
Dear friend, in my opinion, you take even better photographs with a Panasonic than with a Leika
You have missed the point
@@Millicente I get the point! Lake's camera was the king of the era of film photography. Now many camera manufacturers have cameras that have significantly superior technical parameters compared to Leika and are significantly, many times cheaper.
And if you want to stroke your pride and go back to the past, then the flag is in your hands.
Good luck!
My favorite Leica. Sadly, the batteries have poor life and catastrophic issues will result. Eventually there will be banding and dead pixels. No corrosions like the M9, just crippling failures will happen. I've owned 6 of them over the last 8years. Don't be fooled into getting one. Just save up a bit more for an M240 or M10.
Prediction: You will end up selling one or two of your guitars to purchase a used Leica M10 with a Leica lens in a few months. :)
You'd have to be crazy to sell your guitars and buy a Leika M 10 camera. The lens for it costs as much as the Leika camera itself. There is no point in using third-party photo lenses in Lake's camera.
There are now many manufacturers producing hybrid cameras that are technically superior to Lake in many respects.
I'm very close to buying a Voigtlander lens for the M8.2, your prediction isn't too far off 😁
@@Gary_W Такие вещи, как фотокамеры "Лейка" и к ним объективы, это легенда в эпоху плёночной фотографии. Сейчас "правит" баллом искусственный интеллект. "ИИ" в скором времени, потеснит и других производителей фотокамер.
A history camera. - no interest to me.
I have 'fun' with my Olympus cameras.
You're doing the right thing by using Olympus (OM Systems) cameras - a system with enormous technical potential that produces great photos in the right hands.
Good luck!
for freeeeee??? whaaat
