Hi my friend Geoff,

Well, I should recognisethat M8 it's a pretty good camera on the  
hands, my handicap starts when with my 50 mm I look a small  
frameline..., as Gee says, it is probably a thing to be mentalized.
I'm considering sometimes get some digital instrument, with my wife's  
camera (a Lumix) I'm an absolutely disaster, whenthe camera shot the  
subjet is no more in the right moment, I don' hear the "clic" and I  
shot several pictures of the same, I'm looking for the viewfinder, for  
memorize the exposition... and 2 minutes after I give the camera to my  
wife...

I guess that even I had an M8 I'll continue doing fim for my B&W and  
color and familly with the digital, but I hesitate a lot if do it. On  
the other side there are - it seems - nice small cameras to do a first  
step, as the Canon G10, but I'm very used to be to the M, and now the  
M8 will be cheaper if you don't need the plus on the M8.2.

Hmmmmmm

All the best, salud!
Lluis
