I've heard of quickies before, but this is ridiculous! I do believe a motor would make the R8 more attractive, I want one too. But it's not necessary, like good lenses are. I'd rather Leica come out with a 28 Summicron, or a 24 Summicron (M or R, R or even Summilux!) than a 21-35 2.8 zoom. Speed is more important to me in lenses than film advance. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch All generalizations are false.
