No, don't sell it....get a M(240) and the extra cost EVF or wait for the
EVF-M  or is that MEVF?

Personally I am waiting.....maybe it will take long enough to come out that
I can afford it then.....  

I am going out to buy a lottery ticket.....

Wish me luck.....

I thought when the first dig M's came out the M8 and maybe M9 that because
the sensor is so flat compared to film it brought out focus shift to an
unacceptable level which was ok on curved film before. That's how I absorbed
it at least. Has that been disproven?
Anyways I do have the lens. It cost me a bundle. And is it a reason for me
to try to get a new M? They upgraded the lens I think and are calling it
something else.
