Don't they all fall apart the minute someone puts it to use? It's not a REEEEL Leica, is it? <blah, blah, blah> I'm with you Ted. I find that the R8 is as superb a camera as the M6. Much bigger, but it works very much like an M6 in the sense that it's smooth, and because it's so simple it stays out of the way and lets you get to shooting pictures. Almost too much, for when I accidentally bump the mode selector and find it in Program mode when it should be in Aperture priority! But a small price to pay for such a wonderful viewfinder and accurate meter. I use an R4sP as my second camera right now, and I have to say, this camera is great. Used one for years and loved it. But it's not quite the same. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Don't take life too seriously, you won't get out alive.
