Leica M8 Field Test, Iraq

I have used three different M8’s over the past year in Iraq. The first M8 was a loaner given to me by Leica in the spring of 2007.  My second M8 I purchased new in September of 2007.  The third was given to me as a replacement when the second M8 malfunctioned.

I will try to make this review as comprehensive as possible with samples of the work I have done with the three M8’s that I have used.  This will allow others a detailed look at my experiences with the M8, most of which have been negative.   Please keep in mind that there are many other photographers who like the M8.

I have no axe to grind against Lecia–quite the opposite.  I have made my living with Leica’s for most of the past 20 years; I depend on them.  I still have several Leica M’s with which I shoot film on a daily basis
