But old dogs will admit the flaws, appreciate the new toys, but then we don't give-up our bones very easily. :) So I guess I'll stick with my R8's for one more summer Olympics in Australia in 2000. :) By then the eyes will be a little slower and autofocus a necessity, and who knows by then what Leica may have up it's sleeve. :) ted
