We all need to keep in mind that you only get one chance to make a 1st impression! I also suspect that the new M8 is going to attract some old Leica M users back that may have held on to a favourite body and a lens or two that they couldn't sell but wern't using. This should add some new/old blood to the List. Regards, Greg
