The F5 is much more expensive, as is the RTSIII and EOS1nRS somewhat more expensive. I bought a demo R8 with USA 1 year warranty for $1,795. Eric old boy! B&H is selling the F5 for $2,300. They sell the R8 for $2,395 and that's without a winder or drive, which the F5 already has. Hey, Leica is better, but please tell me Nikon ain't chopped liver (I just ordered an F5)! Furthermore, everyone knows that all Nikon 35mm lenses surpass the M 35/1.4 and 2.0 ASHP's, right Erwin? :) John McLeod
