The M8
RFF Has has found M8 photos. Are these real or fake? I have asked around and some say its close others say it is what they know to be.

I can confirm that there is internal email at Leica with the subject of FYI - M8 Photos online and links to RFF. Could this be a sign that these could be real?

Nice. Glad it's here, now Leica will stay in business.
I hope they sell a boat load of these.

Looks great, but does it look a little odd without the advance lever?
;-)

I am SO thrilled it doesn't have a tacky faux advance lever!

It looks really good!
As far as I know these are THE FIRST actual photos of the M8 posted in a public forum. Quite a scoop there Jorge - well done!!

Trying to read through some of the text, does it sound like we're also getting the rumored, new more-wide-angle Tri-Elmar?

Don't go there. Remember what happened to the M5?

It does look very Leicaesque.

What is that akward-looking blue dot near the top of the red Leica dot?

add.: And I'd love to see what is on the other 6 pages of the report...

Anyone want to guess what the little blue lens (dot) above the red dot does? Flashmeter? Color temperature sensor? Part of the exposure meter?

Very, very cool.

Zanydave, instead of downloading the photo from here and posting it over on the Leica User Forum you could have just provided the link to this thread instead....
