I'm glad so many on the LUG are happy about the M8. I'd like to use one at
work, but the state would be reluctant to buy into a new system; at home
I'm not set up for digital photography, and don't feel the need to spend
big bucks to get away from the kind of picture-making that I love.

I just don't get the fulfillment from digital that I get from using film.
