Ric,

I'm very sorry to hear this, I've read some of the opinions, this is a  
very personal option, I agree that tat Fuji X-100 and 35mm f1.4 is a  
very good option, what I'm asking myself is what would do myself on  
this case... First at all I will continue using a Leica M with film  
and looking for the best solution to replace or fix the problem with  
your M8. I'm really used to work with Leica M and I conceive this  
system as my main system.

Good luck!

cheers
Lluis
