Leica has a unique camera on its hands with the M8.2. Those working in reportage, press documentary and travel could use a tool like the M8.2 successfully alongside their existing DSLR set-up to good effect, capturing scenes they might otherwise miss. The blend of old and new is just right. It feels like you are ‘making’ pictures with the M8.2, not just ‘taking’, or ‘capturing’ them. I really hope to see a Leica M8.3 in the future and that the huge improvements in image noise control that we’ve seen in DSLRs recently can be incorporated here too.
