I'm having real trouble adapting to the Noctilux on the M8.

For years and years I've taken pictures of people from a certain distance 
away, and the 4/3 nature of the M8 is forcing me to be farther away in order 
to get the proper picture. For example, sitting across a standard dining 
table from someone, holding an M8 and a Noctilux, the crop is too tight, and 
to get the shot that I want I have to move away from the table.

Old habits die hard, I guess. If Leica is going to make more 1.33x M 
cameras, they ought to figure out a way to make a 35mm Noctilux.
