Lucien, The current issue of a major British Photography magazine has a full = review of the R8. They don't take very kindly to it. In fact, the = first R8 that the tester received failed immediately. The R8 does not come across very well compared to the RTS III in their = report. (The reviewer states his bias toward Contax, but his comments = are nevertheless revealing). While Otto's experience with his RTS's is informative, it should not of = course become the foundation for a position identifying Contax cameras = as chronically unreliable. Many Contax owners, pros as well as amateurs = would council otherwise. Myself included :) Regards, Michael =20
