Does anyone know the minumum temperature at which the Leica M8 can sensibly be used?

I wouldn't worry too much about that, there have been nature photographers operating Canons far below specified temperatures, without trouble.

The only thing I've seen in the M8 owner's manual states that the battery must be between 0 and 35 degrees centigrade in order to be charged. There is one note about eliminating condensation "on or in" the camera but nothing about temps to watch while operating the camera.

My expensive baby ain't gonna see any bruising termperatures any time soon that's for sure.

And read Fritz Polking 's "Digitale Naturfotografie in der Praxis" It has a whole chapter debunking this particular issue with photographs It even has a photograph of a thermometer to back it up.
