Just not as far apart as "anywhere near the equal". Anyway, I've left all the testing behind & have been shooting "up a storm" this year. Now, I'm trying to sort out all my candidates for enlargements. My R7s have worked flawlessly ever since I bought them, "knock on wood"; my R8 replace- ments have been steadfast. One R8 winder has been a little errant ;-)! Looking forward to trying the new Delta 3200 & the Ektachrome E100VS. Really like to see Leica produce a R-90 f2 apo lens. Tom D.
