I am less enthusiastic about the M8 than I was before I got it, probably due to unrealistic expectations on my part. I envisioned myself shooting wonderful wide open lux shots at 35, 50 and 75 and the occasional Noct masterpiece as icing on the cake. Turned out that between focus shift on the 35, backfocus on the 50 and 75 luxes and the Noct that I didn't realize my vision. The camera is a superb travel companion for me but, truth be told, I still like my DMR better. Keep in mind I am not a "street" shooting kind of guy so much of what appeals to others with this camera is wasted on me. Nevertheless, I am delighted to see that the overwhelming response to this camera is positive. I'm a Leicaholic and proud of it
