As usual, both are very high quality productions. I am however more convinced now that the R8 was targeted toward the professional photographer with unlimted lower back support. If I ever get into Leica reflex cameras, I'll head for a R6 or R6.2 for sure. I hear the shutter is not as accurate as the R7 but hopefully it will still be repairable for years to come. The discussions on this list how the Leica CL, CLE and older electronic R Leicas are no longer servicable leaves me with a stronger feeling that M Leicas are the way to go. I want to leave something for my kids to use. Then the money I am spending now becomes even more useful in years to come. Maybe I'll go for another M6...
