Sometime in the next millenium, that's the one starting with "30" not the "20" we will have motors.:) In my case, this lack of motor's has cost Leica the sale of two more R8's and three motors! And that's the way it'll stay until I see a well functioning motor. Yep I have a winder for the present R8 and fortunately touch wood has been OK. But the lack of motors has surely cost Leica dearly in R8 sales during the past 3 years and if the motor doen't come out and work perfectly, there is going to be a much greater economic loss in R8 sales. ted Ted Grant This is Our Work.
