[Leica] Leica M8 Bargains

[afirkin at afirkin.com (Alastair Firkin)]

It would keep you honest ;-) We went to the wildlife photographer of the 
year exhibition recently. Helen had an image reach semi-final (what ever 
that means). The images were spectacutlar, and this year they had a b/w 
section. Now for years the competition has not had a b/w section, adn you 
had to enter slides. B/w prints were not considered, now suddenly a b/w 
section. The winners were fine, but they were all digital, and something in 
me kept thinking they were an after thought: hey this new section may not 
have many people entering and my pelican looks pretty cool in b/w lets 
desaturate and enter it twice. Having lugged my blad to antarctica for b/w 
images of wild places, seeing these made me squirm: OK rant over

Cheers

Frank, I'll be interested too in Tina or any user's response on that. To me
it doesn't make sense to capture in the BW setting. I guess it comes down to
RAW vs JPG suitability for your purpose though. Shooting the RAW of course
every BW option on conversion or post, is available without losing any
information at capture.
I think we also need a picture of Tina with two M8s for Steve's users'
gallery.
Cheers
Geoff

One set for B+W and the other set for Color?  Or is that only the film folk
that set  the color of their cameras to their film type?

So 
happy, that I've ordered a new chrome M8 to go with my black 
one.
