I don't know about the rest of the group, but Dr. Blacktape has got me 
interested in the concept of actually using an M5 for photographic, as 
opposed to collector, purposes.  Would it be too much of an imposition to ask 
that you elaborate on your comparison between use of the M5 and other 
M-series bodies?  You seem to have a good practical understanding of the 
subject, based on your post.
Many thanks,
