The M8 appeals over the Ricoh for the rangefinder and tactile feedback.  I
shoot a lot of broadcast video and focusing with peeking is okay but not as
pleasant as the Leica rangefinder.  I've heard the M8 has a color fringing
problem with the Voightlander 15mm (which I love shooting with) but I
suppose that could be corrected with Lightroom.  The M8 would also make
switching back to my M6 easier, I suppose.
