How would it be any easier to shoot a rodeo with an R? You mean because of 
longer lenses or zooms?  Point taken.  I shot a rodeo once with an F3 and 
MD-4, I wouldn't use it today, not with 5-sensor predictive AF and 8fps in 
the F5. For 4.5 fps (the speed of the huge add-on as-yet-still-a-rumor motor 
drive for the R8) the F100 has it built in and weighs the same as the R8 
alone.  I think we should lock the Leica lens designers in a room with the 
Nikon body designers and don't let them out until they come out smiling.
