Oh dear me Alan, just wait until you have a real Leica M8 in your hands and 
you'll not likely want to go back to a film Leica again!!!

Never mind those big clunky digi monstor SLR's. If your an M kind of guyy 
you'll want a real live M8 all too yourself within minutes of having one in 
your hands.;-)

The quesion will be..." Film? What is this thing you speak of "Film?" ;-) 
And the rest will be history.
