Do I sense a ground swell of feeling that the M*s should be cherished 
because they make old lenses perform better by eliminating the poorer 
rendition in the corners? Seems like the inverse of the opinion that 
film M Leicas were to be desired over the M8 because Leica lenses were 
designed for the corners rather than the central area. I'm confused. I 
have a lot of old Leica lenses. Do I buy a used M8 or save my pennies 
for an M9?
