M8

[chillgif]

Interested to buy a Leica M8 and have a couple of questions.
1. Where would I find the best price in Singapore?
3. Which 'starter' lens would m8 users recommend for shooting
portraits.

Thank you for your help.

1. Hacker's 'store'
2. I like the 50mm. 75mm is nice too.
If you are new, maybe get M8+Summarit offer(maybe 75mm-better deal than 50mm). I think this offer is till 30 June.
cheers

No, not the full virus but just the "BK"(Bokeh King)protein of "L" virus that came attached on the RD1s strain of "E" virus

I'm feeling a bit weak lately...... hopefully they run out of stock before I catch the virus! Even chiif was telling me that this is a great time to get the M8.

Cheers,

Ha ha..Resistance is futile.. it's one big leica M8 family here..join us and yes seems like now is a better time to get an M8 with the offer..others are even considering a second one at that..

I'd rather not get the Summarits knowing that I would aspire to purchase faster lenses from Leica though. A second hand 50mm Summicron for example should be cheaper than a new Summarit?
