While I feel "similarly" I do continue to "dream" about owning an M9, S2 or CFV back for my 'blad and Cambo (though the likelihood of ever affording them seems outside of reality) AND I continue to absolutely LOVE using my R8/DMR and M8 every bit as much as I loved loved using my film M6's, Nikon F's, Hasselblad 500 CM, Mamiya Universal Press, Linhof Technika, Cambo Ultima, and Deardorf. Sadly the Canon 5D with its 24-70 and 70-200 mostly sits waiting for the very rare circumstances when auto everything seems the easiest approach.
