I've been shooting with RFs so much for the last year that it's become my preferred method of shooting, both people (what it seems most people shoot) and buildings (what I prefer shooting). So I figured if I'm doing weddings again, I'm going to shoot light and with what I know, and that meant the M8 was coming with me.
I did bring a full Nikon kit as backup and a significant amount of lighting for one person to carry, so my shoulders and back are recovering this weekend, but ended up getting used quite a bit--AF and super-high ISO is handy when you're photographing kids at a reception, especially when all your Leica batteries are dead.
Those limitations aside, my only real beef with the M8 is the finder display. For once, I felt that I missed the ISO/shutter speed and aperture/bar-graph meter in the Nikon, especially when you're shooting with flash.
At the end of the day, I had a light meter scotch-taped together after a fall, two borrowed PocketWizards missing their cables, and everything covered in sweat and dust.
Now to re-learn the latest version of Aperture and dig in.
