Description from the seller

Beautiful Leica M8 – Black – Excellent Condition – With Original Packaging Incl. RRS Grip & Accessories
Description:
Are you looking for that unique, analog "look" in a digital body? With pride I offer this very neat and fully functional Leica M8. This camera is an icon among enthusiasts and is known for its legendary image quality, which thanks to the special sensor comes closer to film than almost any other digital camera.
The unique Leica M8 experience:
The M8 is equipped with a CCD sensor (without low-pass filter). This provides unparalleled sharpness and a color rendering that connoisseurs describe as 'organic' and 'film-like'. Especially in black-and-white photography, this sensor yields results in terms of contrast and tonal range reminiscent of the classic Leica M film systems. It is the perfect entry into the world of digital rangefinder photography.
Condition of the camera:
This unit is in noticeably good condition with only minimal signs of use. The camera is fully functional: the viewfinder is bright and accurate, all buttons respond perfectly and the LCD screen is in good condition. It has been cared for with great care.
Includes high-quality accessories: The camera has firmware 2.014 (most recent firmware for M8; 22 June 2011) with support for the Leica Super-Elmar-M 21mm/f3.4 lens and optimization of internal processes.
With this set you not only get the camera but also a number of essential extras that make photography more enjoyable:
* Really Right Stuff (RRS) Hand Grip: This high-quality grip significantly improves ergonomics, making the camera steadier and more comfortable in the hand (very sought after among Leica users).
* Original Leica base plate: For those who want to use the camera in its original, slim form.
* 3 vhbw batteries: So you can shoot all day without worry.
* Original Leica charger: For safe and reliable charging.
* Original Leica lens mount cap: To protect the sensor when no lens is mounted.
* The lens is for demonstration purposes only and is not part of the sale!

A Leica M8 in this condition, with original packaging and these extras is increasingly rare. It is not only a fantastic tool for the serious photographer, but also a smart investment due to the enduring value of the Leica brand.
