I have a couple of little orange pumpkins stuck on one of mine. It was good to see somebody else with stickers on their camera. I have a couple of little orange pumpkins stuck on one of mine.

I just wish that it was half the price, and that the batteries held up for more than the equivalent of 15 rolls of film.

I've never owned anything this nice (save for my PowerBook) and so I don't really know what it's like to hold two and half grand in my hands. Personally, I think I'd get freaked out about dropping it or losing it or breaking it somehow. However, they are easily the most beautiful rangefinders produced (the only reason I got a Bessa R was that it was the very poor person's Leica) and style points certainly count (I mean - hey, I bought that PowerBook when I could have gotten a monster PC for the same money; the PowerBook is just way more beautiful, and if I'm going to use something every freaking day I want it gorgeous). I am slightly nervous that I'll try to get a loan to buy the M8 when it comes out next month - I want that camera so bad. And that Hammertone MP is disgusting.
