But I was never satisfied with the result from a regular commercial printer (at that time I only shot in color). I usually only had one camera and sold each to assist in purchasing the next, so when I went digital I sold the M4 etc. However that is not the end of the story, because I like the challenge and rewards of the rangefinder - autofocus is boring, I find - perhaps that's why I drive a manual shift car! I do have an Olympus E-1 for color and some shooting situations, but find it slow. The M8 is so immediate, see it, shoot it ........... however, I have to keep remembering focus, and that's where the next months, and years, of refinement will come in ..... The M8 performs as I remember my other rangefinders did, but , image review ....... so wonderful to have. Thank you for your interest George. I look forward to seeing your stuff.
