Looks to me that might become an interesting weekend.... ;-) J=F6rg - -----Original Message----- From: Ben Sent: Friday, May 08, 1998 2:14 PM It seems to me any photographer who lets the camera decide things when it shouldn't must be very weak minded indeed. In any case, the R8 has most of the wonder goodies. It has matrix metering - just not a very good one, it has TTL flash - just not a very clever one. And for all those all-manual, the-photographer-can-do-it-perfect fanatics - how can you be pleased when you can't set aperture and shutter in 1/3 increments with a 6 stop scale in the viewfinder like the "overly featured" opposition? Why not just admit you use Leica despite the features rather than because of them? If not I hope you shoot with an R6.2.
