Nice Peter, but I am not sure I understand why it would be more difficult to 
manage slow speeds with the M8 than with a film M. To me, it is the same. 
The ergonomics of taking a picture are the same with the two kinds of Ms 
(that's why many of us like the M8/M9 so much, after all).

Cheers,
Nathan
