Uh-oh, my name's in a thread title. <s>

I was talking about the R4-7, actually. And I'm never going to say a word
about the R8 again, until such time as I shoot with it for three months,
which at this point is highly unlikely to happen. Most of my comments in the
past have reflected either my personal taste, or an appraisal of its
marketability, or its reliability problems. I've never used the camera and I
can't judge it as a tool.

>R optics are an A++.......w/o peer ;-)!

Watch yourself. I said the same thing and Jim B. jumped all over me for it.
