:-) to be fair, I didnt say the dmr was museum fodder yet! One look at your
images shows that, shows it most definitely, but the glidepath to unfixable is
pretty obviously set unless I am quite mistaken. (NOT Unprecedented in my Life!)
As a fellow M8 owner I definitely understand your comments about having to see
them as tools and not 'expensive objects' otherwise it will compromise your
photography, your techniques, and the images you make with a camera.
If I had a DMR I'd be using it, too. Definitely not as successfully as you are,
but it would accompany me to minor league base ball games to shoot pictures
from the 1st inning to the last. My M8 and all it's kit did just that last
week. Had a blast, not many good images resulted, but I spent almost 3hrs using
a Leica M almost continuously: What's not to Love?
In retrospect I am wondering about the value of having asked the question in
the first place :-).
Richard
