Just make sure you bend your nose the right direction when pressing your eye to the viewfinder. :) I use everything from a 15mm to a 400 2.8 and with extenders, it's great. One suggestion if you are going to work in macro and tele stuff, order your camera with the matt screen or order the screen separately, as it is the only way to use the R8 for that kind of shooting. ted
