DrPablo Goldmember  1,568 posts Likes: 3 Joined Jan 2006 Location: North Carolina More info | I'd sooner get a used Leica M6, a few Leica lenses, and a good 35mm scanner. Much better use of your money and you still get the Leica glass. Canon 5D Mark IV, 24-105L II, 17 TS-E f/4L, MPE 65, Sigma 50 f/1.4, Sigma 85 f/1.4, 100 f/2.8L, 135 f/2L, 70-200 f/4L, 400 L

Canon 5D
Both shot wide open that absolutely blows me away that even without alterations the Leica image could be that much farther behind. http://imraptor.deviantart.com/

Very revealing review. But why is that guy crying about ISO 2500 when it was fine? Beats the pants off of Tri-X at 1600. 30D | 18-50 EX | 30 EX | 55-250 | 150-500 OS HSM

From your options I would go Mk III but otherwise would go D700 ... actually, I just did that! https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php?t=1203740

So no, I would not buy a Leica M8 or, for that matter, a hypothetical significantly improved "M9". And should I come across more money and feel the absolute urge to get some Leica glass, then fine, I'll just slap it on the Bessa.
