Recently I spent 3 weeks in Paris and I'm now home from 3 in Antarctica. The M was perfect in Paris and a delight to use, and the images I think speak of its great street cred. I used the SLR DMR in antarctica and got some great images, though I do think it may be the last major outing for the DMR. Without having got onto the big computer, the images from the E3 certainly seem to compete in most aspects, so I hope the R upgrade is not too far off. In retrospect, I wish I had taken an M with wides to compliment the DMR: changing lenes is a pain in a zodiac!!!

That is after all why I decided to buy the M8 (seeing some DNG files from Hoppy the Leica Pusher put me over the top). But certainly the accuracy of rangefinder focusing (when the RF is correctly aligned, as seems to be the case with mine) has a part to play too. BTW, all the images were shot without the UV/IR filter (just ordered them yesterday) and were processed in LR using the new M8 profiles from Adobe.
