I know how you feel. I have an M8, a Canon 5D and an old M3 and M6, and I have just ordered a Nikon Coolscan 5000 to replace my old Minolta 5400 which has stopped working, I use the 5D for family photos, parties, etc and its digital files are excellent, but I much prefer taking slides or occasionally negatives with my M3 or M6. I really don't enjoy using the M8. Whilst the ability to change ISO at will and the virtually WYSIWYG viewfinder of the DSLR are very convenient, the film Ms are much handier, less conspicuous and much more enjoyable to use, in my view. I think you may regret it if you trade in your MP.
