The first thought I want to explain is that I think that format 4x3 could be perfect for the new users, on my case I've choose my assortment of lenses thinking on the use of every one, I would prefer work with the full format. Frequently I've choose my lenses attending the compactness over the quality, i.e. Summilux 35 vs. the ASPH, it is some difficult for me think that my 50's will be 65's etc..., and to have a 35 I should buy the pretty new 28mm ASPH, but it is 2,8!, maybe with digital we should think more on the ASA capabilities of the digital?...., maybe; as Jeffery says I've started on photography with Panatomic and other slow films, on these years when you shot with a 27 DIN ---> 400 ASA it was something extreme, actually for me I still have this mentality, I very, very rarely rate a film more than 400 ASA. Yesterday I was commenting an e-mail from Alastair telling him that I love too very much the quality on B&W of Plus X or APX100 with Summilux 35, IMHO you can't obtain the same quality on digital. You probably will obtain a very good, even excellent quality, but without the same "touch". I have two questions about the M8's viewfinder, it is improved as it was on the MP and M7 avoiding the flare?, which leeds information is on the viewfinder? I've never liked the viewfinders with a lot of leds. Thanks for your comments Saludos desde Barcelona Luis
