Hello Pete,

	The R8 still sitting on the shelf waiting for someone else to buy it as I
leave in three weeks for a 7 month trip out of Nepal.  I could by the
camera and lens but would have to cancel the trip.  My kit for the trip
will be a 4x5 field camera with  210mm lens, my new M6 HM (which arrives
next Saturday), M4-P, 35mm Summaron, 50mm Summilux and 90mm Elmarit -M.

	The trip involves 2 1/2 months of travel around Canada, 3 months based in
England with shorter side trips around Europe, two weeks in the
Mediterranean, two weeks in Thailand and then returning to Kathmandu on
December 31.  The majority of time will be spent cruising for snaps with
some time taken out so that I can catch up with the rest of the world on
scanning and digital darkroom stuff - I have no intention of ever giving up
on my b&w darkroom though.

Cheers
