Great lens for the price- a bargain
This camera is now several years old, and so to give it an "excellent" would be inappropriate -- time has passed its features by. However, one can hardly find a less expensive way to obtain a lens of the quality that is here. There used to be a series of ads in the 1950s for a camera which shall go unmentioned, "The lens alone is worth the price." This is precisely why I bought this camera on eBay, and I have not been disappointed. The sensor has enough quality to allow prints at 11 X 14, and the glass simply delivers everything you expect from the Leica name. I liked my own so much, I bought one for my son, who needs to take pix of my grandson, and could care less about cameras. At its current price, this camera is a BARGAIN. And there seem to be more than enough in circulation to keep the supply up to the demand. Don't hesitate if you want an extra camera for situations where your best might be in danger. Don't hesitate if you are trying to decide whether to go digital (are there many of you left?) or if you simply love to try out different pieces. You cannot possibly regret it.

high quality camera body at affordable price
4 of 4 found this helpful The R8 is perhaps the best value entry into the Leica R system of lenses. Leica has always made high quality cameras, but so do others, most notably Canon and Nikon. Leica won't match up with those two (and others such as Olympus, Sony, Sigma) feature for feature, because of a difference in manufacturing philosophy. The Leica will however, be as durable and robust as any of the professional models from any other maker, and at a lower price.
The real reason to buy a Leica body however, is to be able to mount the Leica glass. These lenses are of the highest quality, and will deliver a photo which has qualities no one else cares to match. Leica R lenses are a high value item right now, and it is this combination which will justify buying a camera whose design is a decade old.
If you have read this far, it is probably because you are trying to decide among three Leica bodies: the R8 the R9 and the R6.2. My choice has been the 8, and I own two of them. The R8 is significantly less expensive than the R9, and gives essentially the same features. Enough are available in good enough condition, that I have chosen to put my savings into extra lenses. The R6.2 is a different animal, because it is much less dependent upon its battery power. For that reason, it commands a higher price than the R8. The shape and heft of the 6.2 is also different. In my case, I find the bodies equally handy and I have no reason to prefer one over the other, and so I made the decision on price.
There are going to be issues of support by Leica for the R system. In the near future (5 years of so) I doubt that this will affect any of us, but ultimately, the repair of these bodies and their lenses will become more difficult to arrange. I'm willing to take my chances, but others may not be. No one seems to expect that there will ever be an R10, and probably no more R lenses will be developed from scratch.
The bottom line for me is that there is no photo like a Leica photo, and so I am willing to use the R and M systems forever. My Canons (both full sensor and smaller) simply don't produce the same results. The Nikons of my friends don't either. When that is your mindset, the R8 becomes a great value, and a camera you reach for constantly.

I got what I expected
The description of the computer was obviously written by someone who has not repaired or rebuilt a machine with issues. I got what I expected, and I had on hand enough extra parts and enough past experience that I have made a working machine of what I bought.
