Below are some more photos taken from that first day. The ergonomics of the M8 (and the Leica M) are just as great as I expected. The meter display in the viewfinder with the arrows is extremely easy to use and intuitive. I was concerned about transitioning to manual focus but it has been a real joy to use. Much easier than the manual focus canon "legacy" lenses I used on my Pany G1 MFT. Also, with the distance scale its very easy to pre-focus and then just quickly fine tune the focus when you bring the camera to the eye. All in all initial impressions were great and the camera is a just a joy to use. Most importantly I found that after a couple days shooting I realized that I knew WHY a shot each and every frame that weekend (100+ photos). This was a first for me, but I when I reviewed the shots I knew exactly what I was attempting to do with the camera. It was all very fluid and deliberate. Awesome! I was so excited and couldn't wait to get out and shoot some more.
