There is something comforting about the idea of manually advancing the
pixels after each carefully composed shot....(Damn, I have to stop
drinking while I work ;-) )

I agree, BD, I find that concept somehow comforting.   I own an M motor,
but 
rarely use it because it adds weight, and I find myself shooting more
and 
thinking less when I use it.  Of course digits are free after you gots
da 
gear, but you still have to edit!
