Yeah, it's a lovely thing, with a completely different purpose to the Canon, no frippery, just small light and simple.
The overall style and build of it is just fantastic - I just love bespoke hand-built items of quality. I hate with a passion how everything looks the same today due to mass production, and also how this impacts in our plastic, disposable society!!
I bet that the quality of lens the Leica uses is better than most of what's made today, too!

50mm f/1.0 eh
i thought you might have taken it with the leica 50mm 1.0 then i would have been very jelous!!
this is a shot with my nikon 50mm 1.2
this is taken with a selective focus lens if your interested:
and just for luck, one with the stunning 50mm sumicron
if you would like an m8 but cant justify the expense i would see if you can find your self a second hand epson r-d1
http://www.luminous-landscape.com/re...pson-rd1.shtml
paid £800 for mine, not much more cost than a boxed m6 would set you back
with all the features and more of an m8
beautifull bit of kit!!!
