Guess the upcoming 2006 Photokina Exhibit is flooded with new cameras from every Camera making industry.:Grin:

Anyone out there selling an MP, M6, or M7?

or better yet a noctilux f1.0? one of my dream lenses:)

I was drooling over the M8. My friend got one... beautiful piece of art.

Your friend must be really close to the owners of Leica. The M8 is not even out on the market yet and your friend already has one?

Maybe din was mistaken? Maybe an M7 or an MP?
There are M8s circulating around already though, about 30 units I think that were initially sent out for testing :D

I can only marvel at these cameras and even at their older siblings... :Smoke:

beauty and the beast.

the m8 is so pretty!!! and its price tag is so ugly!

Yes I do have a noctilux. :SunGlass:
It is an amazing piece of glass. Really heavy. You can knock someone unconcious with it and it wont even dent the lens:D Know what guys, as much as I love photography, I can't stand carrying my gear!!:Thinking: The M8 was made for me I swear! Unfortunately, the price tag is killing my dreams for now! GRR! :Angry:

Pilar, Can I help carry your gear? :D
The Noctilux is one sweet piece of glass. I would love to shoot with it in this lifetime :P

Thanks again to nino for all the film! He has converted me from a digital photographer to a mixed format photog :D

Do you know of anyone out there selling a Leica MP, M6, or M7? Sana di pa bugbog at sa presyong binebenta. Salamat po.

Pocholo, the MPs are gems man, anyone that isnt banged up is expensive! Good luck on your search mate :) Let us know how it turns out :)

M8 my dream camera, but the price would make me sell my car :Sick:
.... and the M8 has no auto-focus (am I right?)..... it's hard to shoot photojourn without auto-focus, but man! that M8 is all I need :Grin:

wow pilar! id kill for that lens if i had a leica, unfortunately i settled for the infamous noct. maybe one of these days il check out the leica systems whenever they become more affordable for us mortals

unfortunately i settled for the infamous noct.

Are you referring to the 58? That's one great glass. Unfortunately, only a few copies were made due to prohibitive cost at the time. You're lucky if you found one in very good condition. All the other siblings are poor pretenders...

Never encountered an M series with autofocus. You must be referring to another line as AF (aut-of-focus) is counter-intuitive to the M philosophy. Fortunately, this did not prevent shooters like Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, David Alan Harvey, Ralph Gibson, Tina Manley, Ernst Haas from bringing to us images of the world. Check out this website: www.magnumphotos.com for starters. :)

My best buddy already has one, though still not officially in his shelf... It's kept well and reserved for him... :Grin:

I passed on the chance to own an M3 back in the 80s... I was young and in love with the Nikon F2 at the time. I miss Photo Grapho and chatting with Tong Ng (?) at Lyric Photo!

mmmmmmmm m8

it's on my wish list!
