Jorge from RangeFinderForum has put up what are supposedly pictures/renders of a new Leica M8 digital rangefinder. We all know how great Leica lenses and rangefinders are, so a new digital one should add a bit of excitement to the quiet Leica community.
But real pictures or not, you decide.
The rangefinder itself even without any lenses will definitely cost a couple of limbs. Even the current Leica M7 costs around $2,000 to $4,000. So unless you are a hardcore Leica fan, you might be better served with other cameras. But Leica sure has a beautiful history in the photography world. Worth reading up on, if you are interested in photography.
