Steve -

I'm going to a workshop next week on photographing people.  I'm also 
going to a workshop in July photographing the Sierra Nevada.  I'll 
carry the same cameras for both - two M8s.  Since I had planned to do 
quite a few HDR photos at the landscape workshop, I thought I would 
be carrying my Canon 5D and 1DMII that I can use to automatically 
bracket exposures.  After quite a few experiments using those (with 
Leica R lenses) and my M8s, I've decided I'll only carry the M8s and 
manually bracket everything.  I will carry a tripod ;-)
