OK, so here I am with a brand new M8... :^)

I'm discovering a lot of things:
1) It's a disaster for left-eyed photographers, the small screen gets  
full of nose grease...
2) The frames are very approximate, I have the feeling they were more  
accurate with the film M's - Maybe I'm wrong...
3) 1/8000 of a second is something that can happen very fast! When I  
forget to change ISO settings and find myself shooting in sunlight,  
for example!
4) It's nice NOT to have to get rid of all the dust with B&W...

Questions to all the M8 experts out there:
What is your sensor cleaning technique? I've bought the camear  
yesterday and allready 3 or 4 dust specks in the blue skyes (nothing  
terrible)...
I'm going to take the camera (along with the film M's & R's)  next  
week and next month to Benin and to Syria/Jordan in April/May - pretty  
dusty out there - so, what is your technique to get rid of the dust??

All the best from Paris!
