What do you mean by "grow"? I'll probably be buying into the R system before
long and I'm wondering if they're coming out with new lenses before long, most
specifically ASPH wide-angle lenses?
I'm also a bit worried about the apparant bugginess of the R8. Also, will the
rebate be continued past its deadline in the form of a reduced price? 
Thanks for any info,
