Set the M8 on auto everything, focus and shoot! Never mind all that fiddling stuff! It's no different than shooting with the M7, look, focus, shoot! Screw all the fiddling and thinking stuff and trust the camera. Trust me, despite all the counter intelligence against this method by skilled others it works and did for me shooting 500 rolls of tri-x while producing the pictures for the "Women in Medicine" book. The 3 cameras were set on AE and I went click! And never lost a frame due to exposure. Lost them due to the ineptitude of the guy holding the camera. ;-) ted
