At first you can't believe how much detail is in a good M8 file. And you can use those wonderful M lenses again. I use Olympus DSLRs too, but it's the M8 that usually goes with me. So what lenses are you contemplating? I'd suggest a VC 35/1.2 Nokton to complement your Summarit, and maybe a pre-ASPH 50 Summilux. If you don't already, it might be useful to subscribe to Sean Reid's reidreviews.com, which describes very well how most of the available lenses draw. Whatever you decide, enjoy the journey. --Peter At 02:08 PM 12/11/2008 -0800, Nathan wrote: >...and these are 9 of my 30-odd my test shots from today. I am >thrilled.
