Yeap that’s when I shot this too. I liked the camera too but there are may more capable cameras as the video suggests. But if I had it it would be nice for the right conditions
I thought crop factore of the M8 is 1.3 ? I have a 28mm on my M8 and I use the 35mm framelines (28 x 1.3 =36.4 mm), M8 is akiller camera if you use it like a film camera (no crazy low like above 2500) like in the old days, personnaly I have a leather case that cover the backscreen, so it force me to use it like a film camera.
There have been only 2 Leica M cameras even made: the film M3 and the digital M8. All the rest were improvisations and "aids" aimed to satisfy customers with little rangefinder experience and skills.
I respect the opinion, but I don’t see nothing wrong with the statement to improve. I would not use the m8 as happily as my m10 so in the end it got me in to the label.
@@streetjam1225 Leica never improved things, considering the M8 is an 18yr old camera the M11 is not 18 times better, not with a CMOS sensor anyway filled with electronics and posing as an M4 or an M6. It's fancy, it's sweet but it's marketing.
Sorry mate wrote the text just as I woke up 😅 my ubconscious brain simply didn’t socially interact with thy question 🙋🏻♂️ hello, and thanks for your kind words!
I have always stayed away from Leica, so this was a great instructional video. Thanks! I shoot a lot of med, and large format in film, and a Fuji xt3 in digital for small format. This video caught my eye, as I wanted to see if there was anything I might be missing. Honestly, and I mean no offense, I feel like I was getting comparable images from my Fuji X Pro 1, and the xt3. I believe the real draw for me, if the wonderful Leica glass, but even today, that may not hold as strong as in the past. I have mostly been a B&W shooter my whole life, so the color rendition is good to know about, but Leica glass is so tack sharp. I believe it competes with my med format gear. Thanks for sharing this video…
Luvly story man! Yeah I believe Leica glass has the edge there, not only sharpness but color rendering too. Fuji didn’t really work for me I found too many flaws with too much retouch follows, but I could definitely stick with it if I wanted to shoot b/w only. But again Leica monochrome cameras are great for that too ✌🏻😃
M8 ccd sensor, black and white, just like a film camera superb
M8 is better IMO
Again up to your taste and shooting style 😊
It is.
To be honest, I bought an M8 due to cost - I'm just glad it still holds up in many respects, even in 2023.
Yeap that’s when I shot this too.

With nowadays AI denoising, high iso is no longer a problem for m8 and m9
M8 is better picture colour on my Eizo monitor.
The location where this is shot is one of my favourite places in Istanbul. Really good comparison between the two.
Thank you man !
Much appreciated and I really mean it!

Yeap this was I think little longer than 40 maybe 5mm more
It is better to compare the M9 because the FF sensors, but the different technologies and similar resolution.

@@simossosias3727 true story, I don't really dig the 11 I would rather have the 10 R instead.
11 doesn't feel like a leica in my opinion.
It would be more adequate to compare the M10 with M9.
Nice vid and comparison shots..however m10 tends to look more like Sony-ish to me 😅
I think the sensor was developed by the Panasonic, and image getting soft as you raise the iso is a thraight of Panasonics too. M8 was made by Kodak

m10 looks like saturation boosted from normal
M8 is better
sure thing if you do not have the means for an M10 :)
