Hi Don, Remarkably this is been very little on-list whining about this camera except for the IR sensitivity and the necessity to acquire and use filters in certain situations. Even the Leicaphobes have seem to have disappeared. The M8 seems to have awakened iterest in RF cameras when the Epson RD1 did not. All you need to do is look at the substantial increase in Lug email traffic since this camera was 1st announced and delivered. Greg J.
