I think about this almost daily. A friend of mine got his M9 this way then decided he liked his M4-P better, sold the M9 and bought a 35 Lux ASPH. But i REALLY love the options that the M8 gives me. I can wait. No reason to give up some of those features at this point. I'll try on 9/9/10 and see how many problems the camera has had then I'll consider one. It would still be nice to use my 21mm as a 21mm though. Until then, I'm very happy.
