I'm a newbe to the LUG list. My son-in-law Chris Williams, has been telling 
me about the list for years so I thought, I'm an old 
Leica user so I'll see what new things I can learn from the pros.

Chris finally talked me off my wallet and I bought the M8 and so far I'm 
very pleased. I take more landscapes than people so the 
color shift has not been a problem for me. I realize it could be a problem 
for the professionals and would like to see that fixed 
soon.

I have spent more time with screw mounts and film so it always amazes me how 
closely the M8 is to a film camera and the controls are 
a lot less complicated than even my nikon D70, another camera Chris talked 
me into and again he was right about that to.

Well I hope to learn a lot from all of you with more experience and hope to 
meet a few of you the next time I'm back in New Orleans.
