The Legend Of Leica

Lanatir posted this at 2:27 am on Saturday, November 11, 2006 —

I have the Leica M8 in my hands. Once the weekend is done, I shall write a review for Click! Magazine for this wonderful specimen of photographic equipment.

What makes a Leica so special? Well some people say it’s a photographic tool that’s not only robust and superbly made and finished… but also one with no compromise in optical quality. It is said that a Leica M series camera allows one to walk around with a portable camera and produce lovely images with unflinching German technology whilst enjoying the sparse Teutonic design.

What makes a Leica so special, I ask again? It’s also got to do with the intangible quality of the package. Leica M cameras make you WANT to go out and shoot. This is the new M8… Leica’s first true digital rangefinder camera… and if you want my review and photos from it, you will just have to make sure you buy the next issue of Click! Magazine :)

Having never touched a rangefinder before, I wonder:

When you stop down the lens, does it darken one of the images? If so, is there some way to darken the viewfinder image accordingly?

Also, does the lens have that classic dampened manual focus lens feel?

albert,

1) a rangefinder is not a WYSIWYG system.
2) this is an M series Leica… as classic as anything can be

RM [Leica M8] = RM [Perodua Kancil]

Which one would you rather have?
