The Leica M8, released in 2006, was Leica's first digital M-mount rangefinder. It used a 10MP Kodak CCD sensor with a 1.33x crop factor, divisive at the time, but characterful in its rendering. The M8 is also notable for its IR sensitivity issue (Leica supplied IR-cut filters as a fix). On the used market the M8 is now the cheapest entry point to digital M shooting, and its CCD output retains a cult following for its film-like color and tonality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What accessories add the most value to a used Leica M8?
Condition is the main driver of value; on a modern digital body the accessories that move price are the genuine battery and charger, which are expensive to replace, plus the original box and papers. There is no period-case or matching-number premium the way there is on vintage and collectible Leicas, so condition and shutter count matter far more.
Can a used Leica M8 still be serviced?
Usually yes. Leica services its current and recent digital bodies, and the Leica M8 is new enough that support and parts are readily available. Servicing a digital body means sensor cleaning, firmware updates, and electronic repair, which Leica handles. Because most private and online sales are sold untested, check everything on arrival, especially the sensor, EVF, and card slots.
