After straying away from range finder liecas for many years I have found the return to them very helpful in my photography. It is too easy to get lazy and trust auto focus. The rangefinder makes ou think carefully about exactly where you put the lane of focus. It is fast and very accurate and my percentage of shots with the fouc right where I wanted it is much higher then with the the slr systems. I have also rediscovered shooting with shallow depth of field. The m8 is ideal in these respects and far outshines the slr if you use shallow focus in your work regularly.
