Hi Leopold, I wouldn't put too much credence in this rag as they know not what they write nor how to test. Unfortunately they make a mess of anything they test and all one has to do is waste their money and read one edition to know never to buy another. Just my passing thought as we work our way through the Pan American Games in Winnipeg. Incidently the Canadian baseball team beat the American's last evening in what one might call an upset! :) After ten days of checking camera gear carried by the sports pros covering these Games it appears I'm the only one carrying Leica. But then that's the facts of life for sports shooting these days unless you can focus really really really quick! :) Oh Yeah and a motor would be very handy with the R8! see you all later, ted PS: I still have all my gear! :) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
