Thank you Phil! I was starting to wonder about my fellow LUG guys!
Oh, all right it was an M6, in a half case and I think with a Leicavit. You
can see her being instructed in how to hold it by another M person if you
track down that blog, plus some classic moments such as shooting with the
lens cap on, looking for an LCD on the back and gesturing for the subject to
come closer because the AF isn't working. Sigh, I know you all just want to
look at the camera.

But that kind of misses the point about the ultra cool fashionista's blog
discussing the M8. Incidentally, it seems from Sonny's post that Doug has
got very close to Scarlett. I'm jealous.

Cheers
