Leica M8.2


The upcoming Leica M8.2 will be four thousand punds sterling?! Gawd damn. I suspect that Leica has realized they cannot compete with the big companies on features or even reliability, so they have decided to go the other way and make their money on those customers willing to pay anything to have a Leica logo on their camera.

Heck, according to that dealer page (which admitted we don't know if we can trust), the upgrades seem mostly cosmetic (many literally so), and yet the price has a big premium. (The M8 is about a thousand pounds less.)
