Well Paul
My experience is that the M8 is fantastic for portraits. the standard 50mm lens works out at 67mm and that gives a very nice perspective.

Some of my pics are on

Or you could do you and your mail box a favour, and choose not to receive emails at all but visit the forums online instead, on http://www.hasselbladinfo.com/discus/
Then you can go through the threads at leisure, whenever it suits you best.

Isidor, the images I have seen from the M8 are indeed excellent. I think Marc uses his at weddings so it will be interesting to hear his views on it.

Re the SCA adapter, in addition to what the others said, have a look at Leica's web site and check the flash specs for the M8 - they tell you what adapter/s enable its TTL flash.

.... Oh and Isidor I forgot to say that I think parting with your XPan towards an M8 is a decision you may regret - 2 very different cameras. I think it is safe to say that there may never be another Xpan!

Whilst cropping M8 images to a panorama may seem an alternative, it will not be, due to the smaller image area limiting enlargement size. Even a cropped 35mm neg was no substitute for the XPan's 1.8x 35mm frame.

I use my XPan along side my M7 as well as my Hasselblad 6x6.
