I am in the market for a Leica M8 camera, however I have some questions. I actually just sold my dslr camera because I have fallen in love with the M8. I just love how it handles and the overall look. I really am in the market for a used M8 but have read some articles that the M8's had serious problems in regards to not working properly so I was just wondering if that is true and if I should wait until the M8.2's are a little cheaper and buy one of those instead? I am clueless. <br>
I have one more question in regards to lenses. I really just wanted to spend around $700 to $1200 on a lens and actually found a used summarit 35mm f/2.5 lens that looks nice but I don't know if I need the 6-bit lens? What lens would you recommend and is it OK if I buy an older one? <br>
I could really use some help. By the way, I am mostly going to use the camera for scenario and portraits.<br>
Question?
