The M8 isn't that reliable so I figure having a backup isn't a bad idea, plus I wanted to try a film M. The horizontal shutter is a LOT smoother than the M8's vertical one. I'd gladly trade the top end speeds for a shutter that smooth; it'd give me quite a bit of gain in low light. Dinner turned out to be fried egg noodles with butter-fried chicken and eryngii mushrooms...yum.
