I thought I was going to need the heavy and clunky Motor Drive (when it becomes avilable later in the year) in order to bracket easily. But I find the lever action to be so easy that I may pass on both the motor or winder and do it manually.>>>>> Hi Andy, I thought the same about how quickly you can bracket by just flicking your thumb and after a few times it almost can be as quick and easy as a aoto-bracket motor. But I'll stick with the motors when they become available as not having it on the R8 is just driving me crazy. <<<The one thing I do miss from the earlier models was the hand grip that covered the back of the hand so that it was virtually impossible to drop it when hand-carrying. >>>> For sure as it has always been a "security blanket" for me the way I charge around some tmes. Besides it just gives a very secure feeling when shooting at slow shutter speeds. And if anything the strap is an unfortunate loss. ted Victoria, Canada http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
