M8 CAMERA BODY
Leica Camera AG is pleased to announce that there will now be a choice of two German-made models.
The current M8, much loved for dynamic and discreet high end photography, which has been subject to a continuous firmware improvement, will continue. Leica Camera Ltd is committed to supporting this flagship product further, thus enabling owners to benefit fully from their investment.
A new M8.2 model will be available from late September 2008. This model shares the same body and characteristics of the current successful M8, but includes some alternative attractive features built in. Such features include;
-
A new extra-quiet, low vibration metal blade focal plane shutter with the option to re-cock the stutter at a later moment – useful to reduce noise even further
-
An ultra scratch-resistant sapphire crystal cover glass for the camera monitor - the Leica M8.2 is the first professional camera to use such material
-
A new snapshot mode – useful in tight reportage conditions
-
A “vulcanite” finish to the camera body (black and silver versions)
-
Viewfinder bright-lines (to frame subject) optimised for 2 metres (M8 is 0.7 metre)
-
A more compact, faster charger
-
Operational changes following user feedback
Following requests from many professional photographers, the black version of the LEICA M8.2 has been finished more discreetly as the Leica dot and accessory shoe are now also in black.
This version is particularly stylish with a new extra durable high-quality deep black finish,
M8.2 SRP is £3990 (inc VAT).
Current M8 owners have the option to adopt some of the M8.2 alternative features via a factory rework programme if they so wish
