Probably cheaper on the used market than an >R6.2. There is one thing that the R6/8.2 can do that the R7 can't, and this is why I find myself using the R6 more often. The R7 cannot combine centre-weighted metering with manual exposure; it insists on spot metering. This is fine for those times I would want to use spot metering, but far from fine for those times (the vast majority) where I would opt for c/w metering. Its funny how the little things can get you sometimes. Joe B.
