Don’t hold back, Thomas. Tell us how you really feel about the M8.
Great site. Just discovered it last week. Enjoy the writing and the photography.

I am one of those that are struggling to let go of their M6 and have found nowhere special to go.
I almost love the LX1 but it’s not quite there (I hate the noise, the lack of viewfinder and the uncertain zoom-it should have presets at the 28-35-50-70-105 positions, who cares about anything in between!).
I’m not sure the Sigma will be, either. Besides, 28mm is great but the goold ol’50 is not something I am ready to give up—that’s the second body you are talking about.
I wish the M8 was not such a poor compromise. I’d be willing to pay the $5k IF I could use my lenses for what they were supposed to. And maybe even then, why fork $5k for something that will be obsolete in 2 years if it is not already? A Leica is supposed to be used for 30+ years indeed!
Maybe I’ll stick to M6, Tri-X and home processing plus scanning…
PS I am also happily using a Sony R1 as a quasi-Hasselblad (you know, waistlevel finder and all) but clearly it fails the ‘under a jacket’ test so it does not count…
