If you believe in the Leica myth despite my earlier posts then have a look at Michael Kamber’s website. Here a real professional photographer tells about his experiences with his Leica M8.
Michael Kamber concludes:
As I said earlier, I do not write this because I dislike Leica, quite the opposite. I have used their cameras for 23 years and invested tens of thousands of dollars in their products. When working in war zones, however, my first rule is to eradicate all the uncertainties from my kit. There are enough uncertainties when the shooting starts. The M8 introduces numerous uncertainties into the photography equation. For a working photojournalist in a combat situation, I would judge the Leica M8 to be unusable.
