I say winder here, but I meant motor-drive. The motor-winder is considerably less bulky, but they didn't have one to play with at the shop. So R8 fans, how is the R8 and winder combination? Looks more ergonomic. I found reaching the lens barrel to focus a bit of a stretch for my fingers while cradling the motor-drive in my left hand (a habit I've picked up from shooting with the M6; I suppose I could practice holding the weight of the camera entirely by the lens barrel instead).
