The video shots are much better than the photos, which are blown out and as flat as a pancake. No wonder it`an old crappy camera almost 20 years old, not even better than a smartphone.

So many image samples. Love it

The dog pics are incredible! This camera works well closer in.

Still got it ?

what would you suggest for a 21mm option affordable on m8? or even 24/25mm?

so explain to me what the whole IR hysteria is about? do i need to use a filter with my 8.2? what filter? explain please?

Its a wonderful object ! Love it!

How do you focus on moving people or objects with the OVF? Without using the liveview of course... because I don't like it and I find it rather inaccurate. The reason I have a Leica M is to do everything with the OVF. Thanks in advance for your reply, Regards.

That music, yikes!

Loved by those who own one and ridiculed by those who have never had an example ….. I suspect

so does the m8 have the same issue of ccd corrosion that the m9 does?

Nice vid. The monochrome has a nice Tri-X look to it✌️

Music is too loud

wooo i think this is the camera i need. Leica m8 huh it give a lot of fun.

Nice shots with this classic camera ! ... I've got mine 2 weeks ago and I am in love with the photos it takes, the colours are incredible. Most of my EF glass works great regarding focus, the EF 50 1.2 does not but the 50 1.8 is just fine. I took some shots with the 5D and the EOS R and the EOS R looks a bit "flat" compared to the 5D, straight out or camera. If I want to get the job done quick and reliable: EOS R, if I want to see magic happening: 5D classic. Propably one of the last bits of kit to ever leave the house again! Postproduction: if any: lift up the shadows a tiny bit, bring down the highlights a bit, add a tad of sharpening -> Done ...

I bought the 5D on a whim, mainly because of the price. I'd never had a Canon digital body (or fully frame) and I was curious...Well it's safe to say I fell in love and it's since become my main digital camera. I'll always have it with me. The pictures it produces feel so alive and so rich - I just love it!

Mate discovered your channel after watching your Leica X video, loving the videos!

They look like smartphone photos

how is it that this Camera is 1300+ euro in 2023 :O

Satire?

Wish this was really priced as the "poor man's" Leica. The market moves with trend. As soon as someone makes a video saying something is affordable, the prices seem to shoot up. Especially when it comes to camera gear.

Loved it bro

Hi from germany, i allways think ab out to buy this camera, cause i am not a typical Leica-shooter, but after your video i am sure that i buy a M8........ thany you Andreas

I bought a M8 over 13 years ago & 35 summarit 6 bit coded.. Also bought an M9 & 90mm summarit a few years later. Bought the M7 & 35 Nokton1.4mc Then the M-E & 50mm Cron. In 2021 I’ve sold all my gear that I never used in a while .. I only kept the M8+ 50mm cron .. I only shoot j peg B&W an it’s excellent for me .. The shutter will break one day it’s okay I’m ready to put another in for £1275 ..

I'm scouring this universe of RUclips trying to watch as much Leica M8 video I could find. Great to find you video here. Pictures and video are neatly done.

Amazing camera, on the search for one now. This and the M10 are beautiful cameras.

❤️❤️❤️ great video

Had mine since it first came out, used it semi professionally, never needed another camera, still going strong.

Yup, mine too.

I heard the jpegs straight out of the camera are incredible, especially colors. I would love to see it. I can't find them anywhere though, because everyone shows us raw/processed files. Could you please show us in another video? 😀

❤️

I bought two 5D classics years ago because they're cheap bangers these days when you don't want your expensive kit around when out and about. While my 5D Mark IV is obviously technically far superior (and is still the obvious choice when on the job) - the 5D classics are a simple joy to use daily and, dare I say it, more fun! Plus the limitations in cropping and file pushing really make you a better photographer, because you have to nail it in the camera, rather than "fix it in post" for the most part. But even then, coupled with modern RAW editing advancements and AI upscaling/sharpening - the 5D can deliver insane results for its age and price. Highly recommended!

What do you think is a fair USD price for this camera? I see some for sale on eBay and trying to decide between this or an m8…there doesn’t seem to be a big difference in the price but I’m not sure which one is better

buy a new battery

Awesome Keep it up! Looking for getting an M8! What is your suggestion?

What I like is that you make very nice picture with the tool you love ! Isn’t it crazy the the people still work with these cameras. I love it. My first like was a m6. And in our school we had a reprovit. This made the nicest reproductions I ever have seen. The teacher said: just follow the advice on the column of the Monopod the camera was attached to. I thought that he is making fun out of me. But my first roll of repros made me so addictive that I spend my studies reproducing strange collages. ☺️ They really know how to make photographer shine ✨

Nice, I have one coming next week. Can't wait to see how it keeps up with my Nikon D700, The Legend. I expect them to be quite similar. The D700 also seems to have better colours than later models.

This is a beautiful and wrongfully maligned camera. I have had mine for several years purchased used. Great image quality and I purchased the electronic viewfinder that completes the system. This camera competes with my more recently acquired Q-P.

Nice.

Great review, you definitely got some great images out of this camera 👍

you're views which resonate with my...and why i have one, made me want to keep it and enjoy it / thank you

Is it compatible with today's transmisors and manual flashes?

Lol that shutter during the continuous shooting mode sounds like a squeak toy

Ok but what about the repair? I just bought a used 5D and I'm hoping it will last as long as possible ... but I'm already changing my mind about the purchase because when it breaks I won't be able to repair it because repair centers certainly don't have spare parts.

my first ever camera was the 1100d and the 5d colour is very reminiscent of that camera.

Thank you for the video. but did you shoot full auto? Would be nice to have some extra info on those shots to have an idea.

Love of the shots in rye looking for a 5d to scan film what do you think

Do you need an IR filter for black and white? Sorry if stupid question

Love mine!

Where on earth did you find one for 400
