LOL. Well, Gary, with a few years practice, you might get some good shots. :ROTFL:So many damn good photos in this thread. Hey, if I purchased a Leica M could I get my images to look as good as the ones in this thread?

Matt: Great to have you post here again. Excellent set. I love the motorcycle shot. (Nice SP, btw.)
Gentlemen: Thank you! Always fun to post here and look at everybody's work. Too many cameras for a while. I've trimmed it down to only two.Matt, excellent set, i truly like the third one !
Mohammad: Your images from the SF Pride Parade have been wonderful! Processing's 'spot on' with a bit of an 'edge'. :thumbs:More from San Francisco pride parade with M9 and the amazing 50 cron !

Nice! I really like the b/w conversions as well. :salute:Today in the city.
M8 with 50 cron.
Hi Gary. In my answer I'll assume you're talking about the digital M, and say that while the M8 is a fine camera, and can be had for reasonable prices these days, it is also a little fiddly, in that you need UV/IR filters on the lenses for most things, it is not full frame, and only 10 megapixel, which these days is smallish.etc. Still, I've had three of them, and still have one. I like it particularly for black and white, but it is an all around fine camera. I recently spent 10 days in Iceland, and the M8 was the only camera I took with me.Hey peoples, If I were to purchase a 'M' series, which M has the greatest value (not necessarily the best M but the one that delivers the most punch for the buck...?)

Thanks Lloyd, I was wondering about the difference between the 8 and the 9. I prefer the ease of digital over the romance of film.Hi Gary.

Rumor has it that there may be something new on the horizon in the digital M line, and it will be interesting, but even with that possibility, and despite the fine qualities of the M8, I think that if I could only have one camera, the M9 is really the one I would want.
In the film Ms, I love the M6, but have long been tempted by the M7 and the latest MP.
Don't know if this helps. Good luck.
