well I sold my M4-P, Fuji X-Pro w/35mm f2, and bought an M8 for $1400. how fucked in the head am I lads?
Just pull the trigger.

I would but dose CCD colors makes me want to live
Good for you OP. Being able to sell gear to buy new gear without putting in additional $$$ is the best. I've gone through 3 camera kits that way.
>>2890612
No more ccd colors for you anyway
>>2890612
good luck. Leica m8 is good. But you know it's only the name and colors.
you should've bought a m6 for a real Leica
>>2890618
No he should have just kept his m4-p
Also why the fuck would you pay 400$ too much, the m8 is around 1000 used you dipshit
>>2890829
It's called "buying from a licensed dealer with 2-year warranty, minimal shutter actuations, cleaned and fully functional and in perfect condition with accessories" and not buying from some fuck on ebay whose camera may die in a year
>>2890607
not at all, OP, whatever floats your boat man
>letting /p/ assess your purchases
>>2890829
he should've bought the m6
>>2890838
This, paying retail isn't always such a bad thing
I only pray that your CCD stays good! I know selling the M4P had to hurt.
Consider a Color Checker Passport to create color profiles. This really made my M8 experience kick up a few notches. You retain the really cool look of the M8, but can reign in some of the hard parts.
Now, make a strategy for picking up an M240 in about 2 years. You're going to start wanting one in about 3 months.

You mean roasted cyan? CCD worship is really one of the dumbest memes I see around here.

Nope.
Nikon D700 CCD is one of the best images I saw. If it isn't bulkier as it is, it would be the best digital cam ever made.

Ok isi, time to go to bed. It's past your sleep time.

I'm not even mad. I should have learned my lesson by now but I keep buying cheap cameras and crossing my fingers hoping they don't end up as paperweights. My track record is not very good.
OP here. Technically I only paid $800 for the M8 after selling my M4-P and Fuji gear.
Two days in and I really like the camera, no complaints yet.
Although it's pretty damn big and noticeable compared to a film Leica. Walking around my city snapping that loud-ass shutter has turned a few heads.
