Charlie for organizing it ! and to Tom for representing "the company" ! what a special treat to get a chance to handle the new M8 ! the auto-focus was incredibly fast and how innovative to offer both a digital and 35mm-film option ! in my experience the F5 metering is indeed the way to go and the technology sharing deal with Nikon will no doubt bring massive benfits to both companies ! How Exciting ! it's was a pity about the fracas between Jim and Jeff regarding the soft releases. i knew leica users are very passionate, but i have to admit to being very surprised when such passions led to blows ! good thing Charlie brought that single malt ! > LUGgers in other areas should consider informal meetings like this one... ditto. it was very nice to see how different people's eyes are and how people use these wonderful tools in different ways. the reality of different styles helps to put the struggle of one company to satisfy alot of users into perspective. it was a wonderful evening, thanks to all who participated ! mark
