Hi Christian,

gee what were you drinking when you made those decisions, old fixer? :)

I respect other folks feelings about the R8 and in your case I can only
say, "pity!" :) Fortunately mine are the opposite to yours, as I'm sure
many other R8 users. It really isn't bad enough to switch to the "N" camera
and throw away all that wonderful Leica glass.

You sure it wasn't old developer instead of fix? :)
