I, too, do not have an R8, and have never used one, but I do have an
R6.2, as well as a Nikon F2AS and a Nikon F3. I looked through all
three just now, and found either of the Nikons' viewfinders brighter
and better than the Leica's. Considering, too that I had a choice of
20 odd focusing screens for the Nikons, as well as 6-7 viewfinders, I
found them far superior in practical usage to the Leica. You could get
a viewfinder or a focusing screen for every conceivable use you wanted
to put them to. All in all the Nikons were exemplary system cameras
