[OM] Nathan's PAD 10/05/2009: beach, the M8 and road rash

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.
