My all time favorite 35mm slr and my first Leica. Owned mine since new in 2000. I find it, and still do, a beautiful design.

[@adammissedfocus]

Same here! I enjoy the design.

Thanks for the video, this camera has been on my list. I love your humor too. Keep up the videos.

[@adammissedfocus]

Thanks for watching! Hope the video helped and will do.

[@showcards]

[@adammissedfocus]

Thanks for watching!

[@BryanJung-d6d]

Enjoy the videos!

[@adammissedfocus]

Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoy them.

Good video man! Love that the Leica R8 is getting some love. One thing though, your videos feel a lot like Grainy Days. Keep grinding! I’m excited to see how you develop your video style

[@adammissedfocus]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and I will keep grinding!

Vision 3 250d is one of my favourite films too. Enjoyed the video, that camera looks too big/ heavy for me even if I could afford a lens 😂

[@adammissedfocus]

Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching! Yea, I get that. The camera definitely is on the heavier side.

[@Vitor_Zago]

Although it's has A LOT of functions (what is really amazing), let's agree it's an ugly camera (not a negative comment, I loved the video lol)

[@adammissedfocus]

Glad you enjoyed the video! I actually enjoy the design, but I can see your point. It is bulky and that ''hunchback'' is something unique.

It's not ugly. It's just not another copy and paste boring looking film camera of the 1970-80s.

[@christophsiegl201]

When you hold it in your hand you immediately recognize its unique and a beauty! And then put one of these incredible lenses on it, and it gets even better….

I would rather buy the R8 over the M series. Much cheaper.

[@adammissedfocus]

Waaay cheaper. The R8 is definitely a hidden gem.
