The Leica M8, a digital rangefinder camera, was released in 2006, making it 12 years old. It was a controversial camera from the start, with an APS-H format and 10 million pixels. Some people thought it was a great product, while others felt it was outdated compared to the Canon 5D in 2005, which had a full frame format and 13 million pixels.

Using the Leica M8 isn’t easy at first, but once you get used to it, it’ll become your go-to camera. It’s important to remember that it’s not the device that takes the photos, it’s the person behind the camera. So if you can accept its limitations and understand what the M8 can do, it’s still a great choice for capturing life’s moments. I especially like it for black and white photography. In fact, I think it’s the best body for shooting black and white.
