They allowed me to take a few shots with each lens-- 21 to 135. My impressions? Very easy to use without manual.. Just like a film camera. No chumping. There were 3 M8 owners in the store including the manager. They ALL use Lightroom' Even the Nikon Digital owner in the store only uses Lightroom When I got home, I gave the Card to my daughter who slipped it into her laptop and sent it back to me. Though I have a port on my computer for SD cards. Shots look very good, with no manipulation possible. I may pick up a M8 if I can minimise my computer time. I assume that whatever digicam I use, the computer time will be the same. Oh, and on prints, they all endorsed the same Epsom whose number I forgot. BTW, the store had three near mint SM Leicas; IIIa mit Summar, IIIc mit Summitar und IIIf BD mit Summarit. All mit eveready cases. Separate SM lenses were 90 Elmar und 135 Hektor or Elmar. They even have a 65mm Elmar in focusing mount for Visoflex III.(chrome) The store is Nelsons in La Jolla Jerry Lehrer La Jolla CA
