Re: M8 comments :-)

Guys,

I'm adding a few comments here. In fact, the M8 with the 1.3 factor is
really well thought. Not only you can use your favorite lenses (come on,
Cartier Besson used a 50mm collapse type and you have a 35 Lux Asph to mach
his talent) but you can even buy this 28 you wanted-but
were-afraid-it-would-be-to-close-to 35.

I have not seen the M8 pix but a 10mp by Imacon/kodak it's a jewel.

This camera is a winner even at the price it is sold. Ted is right, order 3,
put a lens on each and shoot.

Er, all right, we are not pro, my comment was sort of joke.

A M7 and a M8, a set of common lenses (even by Voigtlander, try the 25mm. or
the 28mm..) and be a happy tedd
