Landscape photography with a rangefinder
So the question came up on the Leica forum about using the M8 for landscapes.
Given it's mirrorless, and therefore more stable than an SLR with a mirror (well, without locking it up, anyway), and given that the glass is unparalleled, and that the M8 is a featherweight compared with most landscape set ups, it's actually an ideal landscape / travel camera.
Hauling an M8 and lenses (no tripod necessary) up into difficult terrain is as bad as trying to carry a consumer point and shoot. Maybe not the very smallest, but when you consider you're bringing almost MF quality with you, it's astounding.
The only downside here is that the batteries are small; you need more than one, for sure. You also can't get precise framing with the very wide angle lenses without a finder.
The shot below is a typical field of view though: 35mm Summilux @ f5.6 (so a 50mm, or normal field of view on the M8 with its 1.33x crop factor).
