[Leica] WTB: Nikon AR-1 soft release

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey at mchsi.com)]

That is one of the reasons i prefer using the R8DMR to my newer D700, or my 
F3HP (which has not been used, except to exercise the shutter every once in 
a while), in over 8 years.

F's are better in memory than in person.   Last night I was comparing the 
view through my F2a and F3 with 50/1.4 lenses on them to the view through my 
R8 with a 50/2 lens on it.   The R8 was considerably brighter, in spite of 
the slower lens, and MUCH clearer, cleaner, and sharper.  I think I'm going 
to sell my Nikons.
