I hope you'll get to try an M8, Mark.  You'll see that the 1.3 factor 
is really a non-issue.  Your 90 becomes 117, your 75 becomes a 97/5, 
your 35 becomes a 45.5, your 12 becomes a 15.6.  Everything just 
shifts one lens up.  I really like my 35/1.4 as a 45.5/1.4!  I never 
even think about the cropping factor and just choose the lens I need 
to get the photo.
