For me, yes. The R for quiet contempletive work and the M for
"helter skelter"!

No, no, no, Lucien. That is *your* inference. In this happy and
accomplished Leica family, I feel sure that we can "bring home the
bacon" with the best of any Nikon/Canon/Minolta AF shooter with the
possible exception of that fast action subject coming directly at
or away from the camera. The R8 AF will handle that in the future.
Let's see, now, that'll be after all the promised accoutrements for
the present R8 are finally available. (I knew I could come up with
a French word for you) Suppose that'll be by the next millenium?
Nah!
