After repeated use of M6 (with 35 summ) and then the R8 with 100/2.8 APO it's somewhat like you've got a shotgun. It's a fine experience, gives you the 'kick' of the SLR and at the same time a steady shot. It looks awkward, but it sits so steady - and still has a punch. TTL with the R8 - I get lost in there... The R7, although my standard reflex, doesn't quite match the absorption that seems to be applicable, in various ways, to the big bug.
