Of the many cameras that have passed in and out of my hands, it is the closest to that 'ideal' camera many of us have been looking for. The blending of M body with quiet winder works for me. I like shooting series SLR/winder style. Things to fix: The embedded profile is lousy. Replacing with ACR's profile helps tons. Using the Phase one software is annoying but results are magnificent and better than ACR. If Lightroom could use other profiles I'd be REALLY happy. I guess this supposed to be in the final version of LR. Anyway.. The 50mm summicron (sadly) has moved from #1 lense to my #3. The 35mm summicron has taken up permanent residence followed by a Zeiss 25mm which hops on every now and then. Both produce splendid results. Love the Zeiss focus ring with 'bump' tab. I have shelved the Noctilux dreams and would like to know if anyone is liking the Voigtlander 35mm 1.2 Nokton on the M8? 50mm with 1.33 crop is just too tight for me. Cheers, Eric
