B.D. ,

Thanks for the frank review.   I enjoy it very much.  Photo No 2 is an
experiment for me, and I guess I want it to work too much to assess it
objectively myself.  The outdoors photos were taken the D30 (little 
and inferior brother of D60) with a Leica lens.  Manual focus on the 
D30 is taxing for my eyes, to say the least.  I tried the R8 at the 
Hunt's Photo show for the umpteenth time last Sunday, and drool for 
the viewfinder clarity.  Oh well.
