I totally agree BD,  you have really taken to it, so have I....I have used 
it in preference to my M9, which I may sell. My daughter without knowing 
that I am using a different camera has even commented favorably on the 
current photos looking especially special...

performance is wonderful, look of photos is spectacular, High ISO 
performance wonderful as it should be, and shooting lag is not an issue, 
occasionally very slight, it's acceptable, and it is certainly faster than 
using  manual focus in the dark on an M9.
