[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]i admire the svelte lines of my m2. i also liked the looks of the leicaflex. i lost interest in leica reflexes after they gummed up the minolta xdll. imagine my surprise seeing the r8 for the first time today. it posed prone on the back cover of an english mag i thought might have tips for orgies. the r8 was shot from above.what does this remind me of i asked myself. delta burke just before she ballooned and floated away from designing women? then it hit me: i dont know how he felt but bill clinton must have seen something similair when he looked down white eating pizza & discussing war with a congressman. does an r8 owner call his camera my lewinsky or just monica? since she's into custom handbags r8 owners might get a custom case w/drop front&thong strap. looks of course arent everything(i tell my mirror) but after glimpsing the r8 i'm getting out my 40yr-old black nikon f with plain prism. make a stunning couple black nf and chrome m2, mean photomachines both and both lean. ralph
