Honest that's exactly what I did, that's why I use Leica's. :) >> Ted: So it sounds like you like the new beast! I picked up the British Photo Magazine this week "Practical Photography" since it had a review of the R8. It seems to be an Anglicised version of PopPhoto, aparrently aimed at the amateur/tyro. The reviewer was generally positive, saying that the R8, was solidly built, etc., but whined that Leica was just now incorporating features into the R8 that the Japanese incorporated into their top SLRs 20 years ago. Bells and whistles don't make great photographs. They still just don't get it in my opinion! JayPax@aol.com
