You will swear someone turned the lights up when you put the R8 to your eye... <<<<<<<<<< As someone who has long posted criticisms of the R8, and whose current most-used SLR is an F100, let me add that the viewfinder of the R8 is magnificient. It is wonderful to look through, the best I've experienced on an SLR. It's more than a bright image, it's as though the surrounding black is deeper with fewer reflections, making the scene seem brighter by comparison. Like seeing a movie in a perfectly blackened theater. That is one part of the camera Leica unquestionably got right. Larry
