Absolutely agree.
If I were using only a financial POV, an RD1 would have been the right
choice.
Buying an M8 made sense when they dropped to less than $2500, with
warranty, from Leica. But the filters infuriated me.
That annoyance cost me another $3K.
Perhaps I should just be thankful that I had the money to resolve the
annoyance.
