Jaff, the Lux (Summilux, not Noctilux) will do great on a M8. In fact most lenses will, just remember the crop... With my M8 my 35mm Lux was my most used glass.

Jaff,

No I sold my M8. I barely use my M9, so no point having two cameras!

The M8 would be a perfect match for your Noct. I actually decided not to upgrade to the M9 so I could continue to shoot @8000 with my Noct wide open in daylight (the M9 only goes to 4000 with the a slightly more quiet shutter). Love your M6 too. Wish I still had one.

Andreas,

Do you still have the M8 or did it go away when you got the M9?

I have since bought my long sought after M6 and a 50 LUX.

The body is at DAG for a CLA and I am considering an M8 to put the LUX to use while I wait!

Wasn't too keen on doing it on my camera either

But there wasn't much to lose, it was only fit for scrap without a display, the donor cost me 20 euros or something, and I really wanted to keep it instead of getting another compact with substandard usability. This has a decent optical viewfinder, for example.

Mika, I wouldn't let you do that to my M9!

Gorgeous photos, Mika. We have so many talented photographers here. Mika, I wouldn't dare to take my camera apart. Changing the battery and the memory card is as far as I go.

Too bad that it failed after a few years - apparently there was a loose screw inside from the factory, and when it finally dropped off it shorted something and disabled the display. I bought a S50 with a physically stuck lens for peanuts, and transplanted the optics from the S45 into it. There aren't that many parts inside a digital camera...

...which was in 2003 replaced by a Canon S45, which I still use. It's rather big for a pocket camera, but has full manual controls and gives great results.

I love that shot, Stonk!

Megapixels is mostly a useless measure. Who needs 12 mpix, when the end result will only get better if you scale it down by 1:4 as the first thing.

I have also kept my first digital camera, a Kodak DC240 from year 2000. It was clumsy, slow and needed a lot of light, but in good conditions the results were pretty good. This is already noisy due to low light...

Stonk:

I took this during our recent cold spell..

But can you believe it was taken with a cheapo Fuji Finepix a204 2MP from around 2003! I have had many cameras since but have always kept my first digital camera.

That's beautiful, Stonk!
