For all intent and purpose I agree with you Nathan.

However, I must confess that since getting the 5D and enjoying the  
fact that my R lens arsenal actually works in the same focal length  
way that the R8 does; well I just love that fact. It simply feels  
good. What can I say? Feelings fly in the face of logic. ;^)
