It's interesting and of course obvious the change of personality a motor drive
makes to a camera.
Many will like their R8's less with the drive for most things having been forced
to get used to it without.
My point being that so many cameras with the micro side motors don't give you
that option and they predominate.
A thumb advance is a great thing. 
OFF TOPIC: I wish the Hasselblad had one like those other MF cameras had or have.
