Wow.

Compelling photos, Steve.  Well, I haven't bitten yet.  

And thank you everyone else, who have offered their opinions.

I'm still thinking about spending $4K on film, vs $4K on the M8.

And asking myself - just what can't my RD1 do, that an M8 can, especially
since the RD1 is paid off.

And $4K saved towards an M9 will grow in value, whereas $4K spent on an M8
will just fall in resale value.

Also, it is the Christmas season.  The camera wouldn't arrive in time for
Christmas for me, and I will have come to my senses by January.

regards


....Vick

Through the magic of the internet I've just taken these two shots of my
laptop back.

First with a filter...

Second, without a filter...

I know which I prefer <grin>

Steve
