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.
