Leica M8 with Voightlander 15mm

Really need to use this camera and lens combo more often. Really can throw up some shots. Cracking lens, small, light weight,very well made good to look at. Some would say it's a bit slow, yes it is, if you are a low light shooter. If not, not a problem at all. Focus is .3m to 2m infinity. Push it to f5.6 and anything further away than 1m is pretty much in focus. Talk about point and shoot.

This version is the LTM version. Lighter and cheaper than the M version. Screw on an LTM to M adapter and job done. Many £££ saved. This is not range finder coupled so zone focusing only. But hey, everything is in focus anyway.

Obviously there are no frame lines. So a little practice is required to hone your own composition skills. What I have found, is whilst looking through the viewfinder of the M8 if you move your eye around the extremities of the viewfinder that is what will be taken. The max you can see, will be recorded. And some.

If you are working up close then you can expect the usual characteristics you would expect with a 15mm lens.

I think this is a very underrated combo. Especially as Leica do not produce anything like this lens no matter how many £,000s you give them.

So here we are at the pic point. Straight out the cam no fiddling.
