I thought about that, but I definitely do NOT want auto-focus.  I have no 
problem focusing where I want...  The nice thing about the Aria is it has a 
VERY manual mode with a shutter speed dial....just like the M6 (I had to 
mention Leica in here somewhere), and I plan on using it for macro 
work...which the M6 isn't really very good at...

If the R8 was smaller, I would have bought it in a heart beat...but 
compared to the Aria, it's a beast...
