It's quite well written (unlike some of the Nikon books I have). And, as someone who doesn't own an R8, but has thought about it and wanted to know more than the Leica brochure tells, it's been informative. Parts are geared towards a beginner (explaning what Aperture Priority mode does, for instance). But there's good photos throughout and a complete explanation of the R8's controls and operations. Later in the book is a chapter on R lenses. Overall it's giving me a much better feel for the R8's capabilities and limitations, which is what I was looking for. Larry
