Leica M8

03/12/2012

I have never used a rangefinder before, but since I started learning about cameras, I've known what a Leica is. I've always had a romantic idea of a Leica - like they're cheat codes for photography. I've certainly seen very few terrible images come from them, but that's probably down to the calibre of photographer that invests to that degree in their equipment (saying that, I've seen plenty of godawful images come from Nikon D2/3s).

Luckily, I seem to randomly know one of the most generous people in the world. After a quick enquiry as to whether I'd be able to have a go with his M8, Tom offered to loan it to me for a whole week. So, for the next week, it'll be as many good images as I can make, all from this ridiculously beautiful piece of kit. Excited.
