I have nothing to admit, Rolf. I've handled the R8 on a number of occasions
and don't like the handling. I hope you're able to deal with that fact. ;-)

As to your truly psychic ability to tell which photos are taken with auto
focus cameras, and which are not, I invite you to visit my site -
http://www.a-day-in-our-life.com, go to the Personal Favorites section, and
tell us which are auto focus photos and which are manual focus. And good
luck!

Ah, progress.

It's gotten so I can practically tell which photos have been shot with
these autofocus wonders -- the main subject is always smack under one of
the focus sensors.

Can you say Lazy Composition?

And by the way, why such an issue with the R8 wind lever which, by the way,
has such a short throw that you would never want to multi-stroke it anyway?
Last time I looked, the F100 has no wind lever at all. Of course, you do
get all those nice plastic lenses that the screws fall out of in about 6
months as part of the bargain.

Just admit it B.D. -- you've never actually touched an R8!
