Simon-
 That was a joke... I was doing the proverbial Nikon Bashing... that
shows up on the list now and again...
 I WILL be Buying a F5 and  either a N90s or an F100...
 I have been totaly out of the AF loop though and have no Idea what a
"D" lens is.. is that a good lens?  Hell I don't even know what  AF
lenses are available..
 The reason I will be buying the N**** gear over the Leica SLR is  COST
And lack of AF.
For the cost of a new R8 and a drive and a lens I can get  2 F100 with
a  lens.
