Condition report:
The Leica R8 was the first Leica R camera to become a bit different in terms of design compared to its older siblings. The R3 to R7 were quite a bit smaller and more traditional styled SLR camera’s. The R8 and R9 are a bit bigger but have huge advantages over the older models. The shutterspeeds go to an amazing 1/8000th of a second, making shooting wide open in daylight possible. The R8 also has an excellent lightmeter and offers Manual, Aperture, Shutter and Program exposure modes. Spot, center and average metering modes can be selected. There is a big depth of field preview lever on the side. The R8 is a bit bigger but is really is one of the most ergonomic camera’s in existance. Its such a good grip and the film advance feels just like a beautiful piece of engineering.
This R8 kit comes in a very very good cosmetic condition. There is some very minimal scratches on the bottom plate but the rest of the camera looks great. The lens on the kit as well, bright lettering, super smooth focus, a stiff built in hood that stays in place perfectly. Nice big and bright viewfinder allows for accurate composing and focus. The LCD screen in the finder lets you read out the settings and modes easily. Lens has good optics and focuses well. No LCD bleeding on finder screen or back door screen. The only negative comment we can make about the kit is that the lens is lacking the red dot, but thats it. Comes with box for the camera including paperwork and a presentation case.

Main specs of the Leica R8:
The Leica R8 has a newly designed shutter with speeds ranging from a whopping 1/8000 down to 32 seconds, bulb and flash sync on 1/250th. The topplate of the R8 is almost flush over the full width, something Leica did to compliment their M lineup. There is no extending prism finder, one of the main reasons the camera is quite fat and tall. The metering in the R8 is probably the main reason why its so popular. There is option for matrix, center and spot modes and a total of 5 exposure modes to go with it. To accomodate these new exposure programs the lensmound had to be changed, electronic contacs were added (ROM). *The R8 will only meter correctly with 3-cam, R-only or ROM lenses. The older 1 and 2-cam lenses work but only with stop down metering, which is hard to do in some conditions. Shutter speeds and exposure modes are selected with dails on the top cover, other settings have to be changed through the back LCD which also shows info about the film roll. The large and bright viewfinders allows for easy focusing and of course shows the speeds inside with bright red LEDs.Leica R8 variants:
The Leica R8 can be had in both silver or black finishes.Click here to read everything about the R8 and R9 family: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leica_R8-R9
