Hi Jeff,
I was not addressed specifically, but I have used
Leicas taking aerial photos and found them to be
excellent. The choice of pilot is most
important, but the choice of airplane is also
very important. An airplane which has a window
which can open very much improves the resulting
image. Open the window but stay out of the
slipstream and be cognizant of such things as the
struts on the wings and the landing gear. These
items will ruin many an aerial photo. I have
loved the M8 and generally get excellent photos
at f4 to f5.6 and iso 160. My favorite lens is the 50mm 1.4 Summilux.
Sincerely
Lee K. Hermann
