Digital Leica M8 / M8.2 / M9 / M-E /Mono / M10 aka "M"Discussions about the Leica M8 /M 8.2 / M9 / M9-P/ M-E / M Monochrom / M10 aka "M": Leica digital M mount rangefinder cameras. Naming the new digital M the "Leica M" is VERY unfortunate as it will only confuse newbies with other Leica M cameras of the the past. Happily there is room for confusion with only the past 59 years of Leica M production ... since Leica introduced the Leica M system in 1953. All Hail for the Leica Marketing Department learning Leica M history!
Yes. It has replaced my M9 as my main camera. I'll be putting my M9 up for sale either tonight or tomorrow. Getting away from "leica glass" has been liberating.
Yeah, you probably have a bit of money to play around with now. Myself, I'm a bit tempted to give up the X100 and monkey around with an OM-D.
I did a very intensive comparison as I was looking for a body to put my long R glass on. I compared the Xpro, OMD and NEX 7.
The NEX was far too small and P&S like for my taste, the OMD was great concept and I would have gone for it were it not for the quality limitations of a Micro 4/3rds sensor and the XPro was by far the best in image quality and I was really impressed - until I found the kludgy implementation of focussing
manually and the lack of focus peaking. An XPro 2 might be an interesting proposition but this one is too immature for me.
Welcome to the club! I love mine and don't regret the purchase. Have a great time with it. Looks great with the type IV Summicron with the rectangle hood!

i see you followed through on this...i'm surprised...
I also just joined the party. After a long time thinking, I bought an M8 in pretty good condition (ex demo, 7500 shutter actuations) and registered with RFF of course .
