That would not be me making that argument.  I own some Pentax K digital that
I bought before I got the guts to sell my M7's and  buy my M8.

After I got the M8, I sold my pre-asph Summicron 35 as I had an opportunity
to get a like-new asph  35 at a good price, and that stays pretty much glued
to the camera, though I also use a 15mm C/V and a 75mm Summarit a lot.

I have not forsaken my M8 and my several M lenses for the cute little
Olympus Pen with Live View and the Panasonic 20mm f1.7 that seems to have
captured so many hearts around here.  It is a fun camera, and I've had a
good time hanging my Leica glass on it and some Angeneaux C mount lenses
too, but for serious work, I'll be out there with my M8, and I do know  the
aperture can change on the Leica lenses!
