Too bad about the ND filter...

There is this film or that one.
Or some other stuff you might have in the freezer.
Those usually allow me to get down to less than f4 in sunny weather.

But obviously you are right, it is one of the true limitations to film Ms at this point. But now that they have developed the shutter for the M8, we will likely see it on the next film M. Even if it is just an updated MP (or LSHA MPxyz).

Sorry about the off-topic post.
