Not that 60 is elderly! Well, glad I'm on the up side. :-) It doesn't matter who is on the group, Leica certainly has a larger proportion of older people owning it, because it costs so much. But Leica is making a push into professional markets, or so they say. And I know several newspaper photojournalists who have taken them seriously for the first time with the R8. And I find they think the viewfinder is one of the big points, besides the lenses, of course. Considering the way most AF viewfinders look these days, I can understand why. I find the R8 much easier to manual focus. - -- ========= Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO Error, no keyboard - press F1 to continue
