Thought that may be the case as you described your discomfort with the tool. After using Ms for 50 years 'tis the most comfortable camera in my hands. As is the R8/DMR As were the Nikon Fs (nearly all of them) Hasselblad xPan Hasselblad 500s Rollei and Mamiya TLRs Mamiya Press and Universal Linhof Techs 4x5 and 5x7 Deardorfs Toyo, Linhof and Cambo Monorails all wonderfully comfortable tools. I've gotten used to Canon after 10D, 20D and now 5D Though it's not nearly as comfortable or intuitive as the Leica Ms and Rs Never could warm up to the Nikon Ns They were in and out within a year.
