<p>It's all very difficult, and a very touchy subject. It's been suggested that the terrorist has, to some extent already won, evidence the reactions in place, and l tend to agree. Each time l go through London Heathrow, l am asked to remove my shoes for inspection - this resulting from one failed shoe bomber. What, l ask a customs official each time l remove my shoes, are they going to do if a potential bomber is found on a plane with a device stuffed down his or her underclothes ! Have us all strip naked before being allowed to board a plane.</p>

<p>Another vote for monochrome</p>

<p>For me it's a 35mm f2.</p>

<p>Another first class vote for ffordes. Honest, upfront, reliable and very, very helpful. All you could ask for and more from a dealer.</p>

<p>Kerala - on the assumption that you will spend sometime in " the backwaterts ", you will find that the 18 - 200 vr is not quite long enough for some stretches of the waterways. If you find yourself on the tourist day trip type boat, as opposed to the house boat type, then do not be surprised at the speed you cover the water in. Best solution is to look for a private hire, and insist that the boatman concentrates on the narrower waterways and progresses slowly - link a tip to the lack of speed !</p>

<p>Jon and William - thank you for the information.</p>

<p>Sorry if this may seem a stupid kind of question, but can you tell me if at say 50mm or 75mm, any manufacturer supplies a Finder which shows the square image format ?<br /><br /><br />regards ..... philip a rigby</p>

Peak Imaging in Sheffield do all that you ask. I've found them to be first class, and

extremely helpful.

If you don't want to use a Tripod, how about trying a monopod, which of course is much less

bulky and could be the compromise that you appear to be seeking.

Another vote for Peak.

Luigi,

 

My advice would be to wait a little while. At the moment there are some issues,but Leica is

slowly reating to these. If you really want the low down on the M8, official Leica users forum

is the place to go. Just about every aspect of the M8 has been discussed, discussed again,

and then some more.
