Three common problems with Leica m8

Disadvantages of the Leica m8

Disappointing shutter sound M series shutters have always stood out for their sharp feel and soft sound, but the Leica m8 has become an outlier. After discarding the curtain, the shutter sound of Leica M8 is outrageously loud, and it is no longer the elegant Leica M. As a blessing in disguise, photographers get a shutter with a speed of 1/8000 seconds, which is indeed much more practical than the curtain shutter with a maximum speed of 1/1000 seconds. Later, due to complaints from many photographers, Leica released the M8.2 with a softer shutter, and the shutter speed was therefore reduced to 1/4000 second.

Leica m8 display problem

The display of Leica m8 will remind you of the Tetris handheld console you played as a child. The size, resolution and response speed are really unacceptable. Compliment, I think the designers of Leica thought that it would be usable.

Leica m8 sensor problem

The CCD of the Leica m8 comes from Kodak. This CCD has all the needs of a German photographer chasing balls. The blue-green reproduction is very beautiful, but the Kodak CCD The quality is indeed not stable, and you may be the winner. Moreover, Leica also officially issued a statement saying that the free replacement of CCDs is only free for models within 5 years, which makes photographers who own M8 tremble.
