But ... I'm thinking about selling my new Nikon F5 and getting an R8 to use with my two R6's. As some of you know, I have only had this camera for about 2 months. I'm not sure what used F5's are going for right now, but if anyone is interested in a purchase or trade please let me know via private e-mail. If I sell it, the whole kit would include: o Nikon F5 -- mint, boxed, Nikon warranty, works perfectly o 50/1.4D-AF -- mint, Nikon warranty, very sharp (I tried 3 before buying this one), but weird bokeh o HR-2 lens hood for the 50/1.4 o Mint Really Right Stuff plate for the F5 (uses the Arca-Swiss mount) o -2.0 diopter for F5 (a real hot item, I know) John McLeod johnmcleod@worldnet.att.net P.S. Eric and Ted, you can both start laughing ... now! Also, if anyone out there thinks this is a bad idea based on their experiences with the R8, speak now or forever hold your peace ;-)
