Okay, okay, this better?

such a shame that with all those wonderful cameras we can't get a decent photo OF them.
So having 'discovered' the Leica, can you articulate what it is about the Leica experience that started this? I've had my M8.2 for over two years and I still can't explain what it is, and why the DSLR feels so uninspiring post-Leica.
2) Using the rangefinder focus method is satisfying, like solving a silly little puzzle every time I focus
Do you find there's too much overlap with the Fuji and Leica? Not that I'd ever be able to buy a Lecia (I am soooooo glad your M8 sold!) but I am just wondering. They would seem to me to be very similar shooting experiences, especially in lowlight (where the Fuji can't AF anyway .
I think my resolution not to buy a new camera in 2013 has to be my biggest New Year's Resolution fail ever. Last year's resolution to lose weight comes close though .
No more cameras or lenses this year. For sure!*

Exposure compensation overides tells the camera to make an adjustment to what it chooses for shutter speed in A mode, for aperture in S mode, or in some cameras for ISO in M mode.
Example: I am shooting in A mode with a backlit subject. The Leica will choose a shutter speed that makes my subject dark. If I set +2EV exposure compensation, the camera will use 2 stops slower shutter speed. It's the same as if I take the shutter speed the camera is telling me in the viewfinder in A mode and then manually switching the shutter speed to 4x longer than that, except I don't have to check the shutter speed the camera is telling me first.
Leica has exposure comp in a menu or enabled via button and dial combination. I'd rather have it on a dedicated dial where the setting is visible. It's a glaring omission from a camera that otherwise makes so much sense.
