The 20D only has full stop increments, and the 5D for most of us as 
well. The intermediate stops on the 5D actually produce more noise 
than the next up full stop, so there is rarely any reason to use the 
intermediate stops.

On the other hand, I wouldn't mind an 80 or even 40 on the M8, as 
long as it doesn't compromise dynamic range, as it does on the Canons.
