Sometimes I use M for work when it is the better tool for the job, as well as for some travel images and virtually all of my personal work. I recently ditched all of my Canon FD stuff and replaced it (ha!) this past month with a R8 and 80-200 f/4 to get the shots that the M camera is incapable of. Actually I like R8 8-200 and M6 w 35 shooting combination with the 24M and 50 M in the Domke 803 bag... works pretty nice, but I haven't had time to shoot much with it lately.... I'm in the process of organizing 2000 plus images on my hard drives at work and getting them on to cd's and into Extensis Portfolio.... I discovered after working a few days that I still had 330 some images buried in many folders and subfolders and subfolders with untitled as part of their name.... most were under the name Untitled-1 and 2. Needless to say.... I procrastinated too much on that project.... And well I've got a viable file-name system that I think will finally work. I hope. Frankly... I rarely use AF and have the camera set in manual exposure mode 100% of the time. I like the wide range of fast zooms, variable metering modes, built in motor and TTL flash though.
