I'm a newbe to the LUG list. My son-in-law Chris Williams, has been telling 
me about the list for years so I thought, I'm an old Leica user so I'll see 
what new things I can learn from the pros.

Chris finally talked me off my wallet and I bought the M8 and so far I'm 
very pleased. I take more landscapes than people so the color shift has not 
been a problem for me. I realize it could be a problem for the professionals 
and would like to see that fixed soon.

I have spent more time with screw mounts and film so it always amazes me how 
closely the M8 is to a film camera and the controls are a lot less 
complicated than even my nikon D70, another camera Chris talked me into and 
again he was right about that to.

Well I hope to learn a lot from all of you with more experience and hope to 
meet a few of you the next time I'm back in New Orleans.
