I'm gonna go for the M8:)

Sigma pretty much rubbish as stated earlier. Never owned a Sigma lens with my Canons either...

Paul, we don't have Fjords like the ones in Norway. Finland is a pretty flat country due to the Ice age. But we do have aprox. 200.000 lakes!

Helsinki can be a very cousy city, but right now, it's freezing with the autumn storms blowing all photo ambitions away:(.

Is'nt the world a small place? I've been in L.A. twice. Stayed at the Universal Hilton and The Biltmore.

LOVELY!

But I would have bought a Black one!

Man o man, do I want one of those. I don't know why yet, but I WANT one!

"All" pictures by 35mm summicron.

Funny thread.

I would like to be so lucky:)

But most likely I will wait a year and see what will happen to the price of a used one.

Yes! Success!

Thanks guys!

I just got a Scanner (Minolta) today, and I'm scanning some of my first frames from the Leica. Nothing else to do since the Autumn storms have officially arrived in Finland...

IMHO the Leica M8 is pretty affordable. around 4000euros new. Compare it to Canon and Nikon top-notch digital SLR prices... And wich would you rather get?

Like any digital camera the M8 will probably loos atleast 30% from the New price after one year in service. And I do believe that now when they have to body, updating it with better/bigger sensors, faster processors and better software is rather easy. I expect new versions introduced rather frequently.

Thanks for the pictures and aswers! (Feel free to post more!)

The lens looks to be a decent performer to say the least.

Now I'll have to track one down. In Finland (pronounce CanonLand) there's not alot of "different" camera equipment floating around, altough we're the Land of the Thousand lakes. (Some 200.000):)

Beautiful!

But what does "W/NW" stand for? (Sorry for my ignorance)

With this 90mm I really feel that I'm covered on the top end.

But since I love architecture, and love photographing it, I guess I could go for a bit wider lens aswell.

Thank you Paul!

Yes, I will. I'm going to enlarge my first rolls this weekend (hopefully).

And since I'm been very much into digital last few years, I don't have a scanner. (Sold the old one years ago) But I'll try and hunt down a reasonably good film scanner.

Hi guys!

Got my 90mm lens today.

Currently have 3 Summicrons, 35mm, 50mm and 90mm.

The Leica 21mm is pricey to say the least, but Voigtl䮤er is dirt cheap!

Have you got sample images taken with this glass? I can imagine that many of

you have this lens!

Also interesting is the Voigtl䮤er 28mm, 25mm, 15mm and 12mm.

Thanks!

Yeah, I'm starting to think so too:)!

The lens felt really good, and altough I could have gotten a Tele-Elmarit 90mm f2.8 for around 250euros, I think this was a much better buy. The Elmarit would have been smaller and lighter, but this one felt better in the hand. And don't you just love that "NEW-feel"?!

Forgot to tell you, it was originally priced at @ 880euros. I got it for 600...

The shop did'nt accept AMEX, and I only had 400cash, so I made a reserve payment, going to pick it up tomorrow.

Hi guys!

A question regarding the F2 90mm summicron.

For a near mint, I would have to say from a scale of 1-10 it's condition is 9.

Is 600euros a good price?

Rusla:

I can't say, but I hope so:)
