Ted, on  a personal level I feel sorry for the people associated with
the R8 fax, 
I really do.   I am only too  well aware that mistakes will and do
happen.

Yet, I have learned that when you have a business environment where
bungling mistakes like this occur, it spells serious trouble for the
business, its products, and its customers.  I think my question was a
valid one.

I haven't seen a R8, but I doubt if I will ever own one for a personal
camera.  
In SLRs I use Nikon.  

Whether I am shooting with my Nikon F made in the first 30 days of
production in 1959, or a F5, they all take the same lenses.
