We went for a bicycle ride along the beach yesterday. As always on
those occasions, the M8 was around my neck with the widest lens I own
mounted on it (the 18mm Zeiss), set for f8 and hyperfocal distance. I
would photograph while riding. I have done this on several earlier
occasions. However, yesterday I discovered a couple of things:
- when you brake hard with just the left hand on the handlebar, the
results are not good ;-)
- the M8 is as sturdy as earlier M cameras (I did protect it when
going down, but the baseplate hit the bicycle and the ground, albeit
not that hard)
- road rash hurts but is curable with single malt

When we came home, I put the 75mm on the M8, set it at f2.5 and took
some close-ups of my medicine cabinet (aka the rack of single malts in
our living room) to make sure the rangefinder was not knocked out of
alignment. It was fine.
