Geoff and Dan, you guys hit on exactly what my thoughts are. Marc no question on the MF stuff also , i need one and i know it . But what i am finding is the M8 has more to it than meets the eye and that is something that we may not have thought about. This is what is exciting me is i can actually shoot something that once was ruled by the DSLR . Now certainly it has it's limitations but the micro contrast and sharpness that i am seeing in the files is just amazing. i look at my 30 inch display and what how the ...... this camera can produce these images when I don't see this kind of quality coming out of the DSLR's. I mean i love my DMR and the 180 F2 can't be touched and the R lenses are wonderful but the thought of a lightweight , small package is exciting. I'm at the airport heading for Yosemite for the weekend with other shooters and normally i would have a roller bag and a Domke stuffed in my lugage just to get there. Today i have a Artisian bag no bigger than a small Domke with 2 M8's and 7 lenses or 8 lost count. But the cool part is the files will match or exceed the DMR. Now that just gives me a ................. can't say that but you know what i am saying. this is flat out exciting to me. I will start a thread as 5 of us get going shooting different gear and doing some comparisions .
