Have you guys ever looked for a Sequerra FM tuner, for instance? Ha, you won't find one of those for $500. I didn't hesitate, I bought an M8. The camera is in the Fogg bag right next to me. I'm looking forward to a weekend of playing with some IR cut filters. I'm trying to get over my initial disappointment and work through the issues, as Tina said. It is an adventure and I'm only two weeks into it. I would hope that Leica has enough respect for their customers to continue to upgrade the M8 so as to preserve its value. Regards, Larry ------------------------------------- Larry, I hope the M8s do well in the marketplace. If they fail to gain enough appreciation then Leica might go down the tube. If that happens the price of good used film M's will skyrocket. Don't resist, don't hesitate,, go grab that gorgeous new M8. Walt
