I haven't done scientific tests. But I've used the R8 and F5 in the same applications to the point that I now believe the R8's meter works better. I can't explain it. I read all the brochures and thought the F5 would amaze me, but it hasn't. Whenever I've used the R8 with half a brain working, I've got good exposures, and in some challenging lighting conditions. I take my soccer action shots with print film, so exposure inaccuracy per se is not a critical problem. It just makes life harder for the lab techs. I stick with the F5 in this role because of the autofocus. That way, I get more shots in focus, and frame filling too! The mums, dads and kids like that. Regards Rick Dykstra
