Kenneth,
One of the things I really appreciate about the M system is the range of
tools available. I can use a really awful uncoated lens from the early
thirties to a state of the art image cutting lens back to back. One of the
things I may really appreciate about the dM is the 1/8000 second shutter.
Most of the early lenses turn normal by F8 and in bright light I may have to
stop down with the 1/1000th limit. With 1/8000 I would not have to carry
around ND filters.
 Thanks for taking the time to comment.
