<p>I am fortunate that I have never been able to see the 'Leica Look'. Therefore I can mount any good quality lense on my M8's and be extremely happy. I have always liked the Leica bodies for the feel size and quality of workmanship. I began using Leica bodies back in 1956 and down thru the years have continued to along with some Canon IVS2's and a couple of Towers. I currently have 2 M8 bodies and my old original purchase M3 film body. I like them all but only have one Leica Lense. My M8's both wear VC lenses that I am emminently happy with and find them more than adequate for my use.My M3 wears it's original 50mm F2 Leitz Summitar. I consider myself lucky in this respect as I am rarely disappointed with results. I have only seen one case where Film characteristics have been duplicated by Digital. That was Using the Fuji badged and modified Nikon D bodies. The Fuji's actually had a mode you could select that duplicated Fuji film characteristics very satisfactorily. It's a shame they didn't carry on that Pro line or I would probably still be a DSLR user.I went to the D2X's and they took me back to the digital Leica's as the DSLR's just got overly complex for me. To me photography has always been a pleasurable hobby only. When you have to work at it it loses it's appeal.</p>
