Another alternative ;-)! However, I don't care for the later EOS
camera bodies................cluttered viewfinders.  All those focusing
points ;-)!  I much prefer the R8 ( plain ground glass ) & w/AF the
F100 viewfinder. Picky....picky, I know ;-)!

My greatest fear is just that; i.e, for me, autofocus is really just a
novelty. However, I like being able to quickly capture "candids"
with my F100/85 f1.8 &180 f2.8 lenses.

I just not quick enough with manual focus :-( !
