Great! I'll get one ordered real quick. I used to change my screens on my
R4/7s all the time.

Thanks for the warning. I see there's a note of correction in the Manual
for the R8 that mentions 24V tripping circuits on studio flash. 

So far, I'm in love with my R8. It feels like a Leica like no other Leica
SLR I've ever used. (Not there's a mouthful of irony).  Solid, smooth,
quiet. I almost don't miss having a motor.
