The R8 (and previous R's back to the R4) have interchangeable viewfinder screens.... If you plan to use those lenses the most (90+) than the SLR is a better choice. It seems to be my decision. If you plan to use wide angles a lot, especially at > wide apertures, the M is a better choice. For documentary, I use 35mm and 50mm (and sometimes I shoot at 90/100mm too). HEY!!!!!! Just came to my mind that, if money is a constraint (and it is!), I can get the R model AND buy a Leica Minilux to carry on my pocket for any emergency. I heard that there is a new model with zoom. Thanks for the help me best Becker bss@uol.com.br
