Let's see your Leica M

Finally! I've been watching this thread and drooling over the all the gorgeous gear everyone has in their possession. Here is my contribution and my very first Leica: a black Leica M8 I acquired just a few weeks ago.

I was originally going for a film Leica--a chrome MP. Unfortunately the deal fell through and I lucked out with this M8 which was a steal of a deal. I couldn't say no and here I am. I look forward to contributing my photos and more to this forum.

Thank you all for being so accommodating! I am happy to be joining this community of Leica shooters!

 
Welcome Christian! I too have a black M8; I hope you enjoy yours and share some photos on RFF. :)
 
looks superb Ronald but why is the strap on upside down?

I'll be d*mned, you are right! I haven't used it since its unfortunate close encounter with the concrete at an Indian airport. It needed repair and also a new cover, but apparently the repair guy overlooked this minor fact!

Ah well, gives me a reason to fondle it again :D
 
Begining of my Leica collection, my first Leica M camera, a lovely Leica M2.

Love it but too expensive a lens to feel loose, think I will downgrade.... M6 is perfect, had Youxin remove the 75 and 135 framelines and I like it much better.
