Get a Leica waffle braaah! The G2 silver body still runs about $600+ on eBay so if you save a bit more you'll be in Leica territory. And technically in love at the same time.

 

My next life goal is a Hasselblad Xpan, although that's long term. Don't really need it at the moment. Although they do produce some magnificent photos.

Anyway, I'm gonna go get some new shoes for work tomorrow and finish a roll, probably collect it on Saturday.

Much more regular shooting/posting from now on.

Nice, I've been considering a g2 if I can't hold off till a leica...

 

You should get a Voigtlander Bessa R4M if you can't wait for a Leica. Body prices are about the same as a silver G2 and it's an M mount so when you do get a Leica you can just sell the body and keep the glass.

The Ultron 28/2 is pretty sweet, I'll probably be getting one in a few months, unless I can save for a Leica 28mm :D

But you should just hold out for a Leica haha, but IMO the Bessa is a better choice if you can't wait.

I might just have to get up at 3am and drive to Yermo to shoot before it gets too hot in the day.

Nice stuff Chop, that bee photo is sweet.

Load Limit I would have grabbed that off you if it was a month ago, but I've made the decision now to get rid of all my DSLR gear. Haha.

 

Found a Leica M8 in London so hopefully I should have it within 2 weeks if I can sort out customs/shipping shit today. After a lot of research I've found that most of the IR issues and magenta colour shifts have been fixed/are now a non-issue. Awesome!

Firmware I guess, it's not a new camera by any means and Leica just released another firmware update. Which is pretty good seeing that they're still supporting 2006 technology. I've seen a lot of people shooting some amazing stuff with no filters though.

Anyway, I'm getting it in all the original packaging and with a warranty for the dealer in London for $2400, perfect condition w/2 filters.

 

Then if I'm really fussed once the warranty is out I can send it to Leica for their M8 upgrade service.
