Ah, to me, this was the "rational brain" thinking. For the price of my
M8, I could shoot 7 years worth of film and processing.
Then, the "irrational" side said - "Hey, a reputable dealer is selling
three, refurbs, for the equivalent of three months rent. Buy one, and
put yourself out of the misery of "not having one".
The irrational side won, and yes, I'm happey with the M8. Don't see
myself going to M9 though.
