Mike,
Becareful, you may get bitten and become a full blown R8 lover!;)

Great idea! As me thinks over the past few years there have been some
non-owner-user's in here making disparaging remarks about the R8, without
ever having played with, let alone used one to expose a roll of film.

Yet by the sound of them and their negativism, you'd think they were hard
nosed R8 daily users.

I have no doubt you'll be very positively surprised. Please keep the crew
aprised of your re-actions...Good...bad or ugly!

It's OK, no matter what you say you'll not create any hard felings.
Although be forwarned,  OOPS sorry, not forwarned. But advised Vinnie and
Guido have been alerted just in case.

Oh, you don't know Vinnie and Guido? Hey they're two nice guys who look
after things, you know, arm and leg assistance. The finer breaking points
in using a Leica.;)

Hey no problem Mike, we want you to be happy in your assesment and just
know you'll love the R8.:)

Anytime Mike. Your welcome.:)
