I'm aware of its significant limitations, Leica's inexcusable delays for updates and IR filters, horrendous expense and inevitable obsolescence. I still love it. The M8, no matter the opinions, has made a huge impact upon Leica photography. Many Leica fans who had forsaken the M and R systems for extremely competent DSLRs found a reason to come back. The pictures posted on the LUG are a testament to this change. We're seeing more Leica-produced stuff than I can remember. If the M8 (and a future DECENT DSLR) keep Solms/Wetzlar alive, in spite of the missteps and prices only an Emir could love, then it's a huge success.
