[Leica] M8: "I think it's gonna be all right"

As a former owner of an M8, I maintain that the M8 is already a failure.

Some diehards will buy it, some will buy it because they want the latest
expensive camera jewelery around their neck, but serious M photographers
will ultimately shun it.

All the claptrap that I read about the M8 being "a real M camera" is just
that, claptrap. It may walk like a duck but it doesn't quack like one.

Shades of the M5...

This not from some old fart, film traditionalist either. I longed for a
digital M but it's back to film and, when appropriate, my now much more
highly appreciated R-D1.

This will be expounded apon in my upcoming "M8 Manifesto".

Dave.
