Having one R8 that has racked up tens of thousands of frequent flier miles 
between Sacramento, Solms and Allendale in the last 6 months trying to fix 
an erratic aperture stop-down mechanism while the other R8's light meter is 
somewhat more predictably f***ed up and NO suitable replacement on the 
horizon at any price, I understand your frustration.  Film is looking more 
attractive every day - or selling the lot and saying to hell with 
photography.
