a real leica requires you replace the lens cap when 
advancing the film to avoid fogging.

but seriously.  i think the m8 proves that leica has
proved its ability to incorporate entirely new technology, 
and still retain the quintessence of that which is leica.

i estimate a good 90% of luggers are very happy with their
m8s.  i know i am.
