Great stuff Charles. Like yourself, I absolutely love my M8. Since I got the first body a couple years ago now it has become my favorite camera, seeing almost full time duty in my own work. But then, I had shot M film bodies for several years before, so no great surprise there. I've been editing to update my own web site recently, and have found that the vast majority of my images that are going up were all shot with my M8. My poor Aptus 75/Contax just hasn't seen much work, at least not to show on my site. I don't do architectural or tabletop work with it, but for most everything else it has, and likely will remain, my go to camera of choice. No, it isn't perfect, just perfect for me.....
