It doesn't make any difference whether I use a big SLR or a M either, but that's not the point. I'm expressing a preference, I'm not claiming that the difference in size makes a difference in the quality of the pictures. Some people prefer black Ms to chrome, but that makes no significant difference either. Using a smaller film M is a more enjoyable and easier experience for me than using the larger M8. Bob
