My thought is to sell my R4s and move into the R-8 with the 180/2.8 that I asked about earlier. Then the fellow shows me the Nikon F5. Looking at the F5 and R-8 side-by-side I was impressede more with the F5 (did you see how fast that motor drive moves that puppy?). So now my brain is ticking. I do have a few Nikkor lenses lying about so do I get the R8 and 180/2.8 combo OR do I opt for the F5 and maybe the 180/2.8 or the 80-200/2.8? Well I am going to sleep on this but what I do know is that the lens is what counts and the three Leica lenses I mentioned are nice ones. Thoughts anybody? Steve
