You may soon notice a decrease in my blog entries because I'll be taking a little break from the cyber world for a bit... it's not going to be easy, but it's something I must do, especially since I'll be going back to school (I love it when I make a rhyme without tryin'... oh snappp, I did it again). I met with my counselor today at KCC (finally) and it was very nice chatting with her. I told her a little bit about myself, my hopes, my fears... all that good stuff... and she listened wholeheartedly. She understands my concerns about coming back to school while working, but stressed to me the importance of making school an "enjoyable" experience. She does not want me to become so overwhelmed with juggling everything to the point where the "enjoyment" of attending school becomes morphed into a dark cloud of stress and hassle. It's going to be hard to adjust at first, but I'm confident I can do it. I registered for two art courses, which are both two-day classes per week, so basically, I'll be going to school from Mondays - Thursdays every week after I get out of work. It won't be easy, but I'll manage somehow. I may have to start up on a regular caffeine diet... haha. Wish me luck!

When compared with the classic black and silver models in the M8 series, this special limited edition with a white leather finish is destined to be the eye-catcher of this summer.

The LEICA M8 'White Edition' is available in a set including a silver anodised LEICA ELMARIT-M 1:2.8/28 mm ASPH lens and strictly limited to just 275 examples. The uniqueness is further emphasised by the special serial numbers assigned exclusively to the cameras.
The exclusive white Nappa cowhide leather of the LEICA M8 'White Edition' makes the Leica M8 a particularly comfortable camera to hold. The camera is accompanied by a high-quality, real leather carrying strap, embossed with the Leica logo. All control elements are finished in silver chrome and, in combination with the lens, perfectly round off the overall styling of the set. The top cover, bottom plate and the camera back are finished in white paint.

The special paint finish is particularly resistant to wear and is characterised by its dirt-repelling surface. This finish provides the pure white camera with long-term protection against unsightly marks. The technical specifications and features of the LEICA M8 'White Edition' are identical to those of the standard LEICA M8 models. Each camera of this special edition is also accompanied by its own unique certificate of authenticity.

The lens included in the LEICA M8 'White Edition' set - a silver anodised LEICA ELMARIT-M 1:2.8/28 mm ASPH - is one of the most popular lenses of the M System. With its extremely low weight of only 180 grams, it is particularly compact and offers outstanding performance for a wide range of photographic applications. The special edition set also includes a classical round lens hood in silver anodised metal and a silver E39 IR/UV filter.
