To answer your question, I remain happy with my R8s and their lenses and accessories, as one would with their children - despite the things they get up to. ;-) I've had an amazing experience with nine or so R8s, ones I've owned and ones on loan - just about everything that could go wrong has. But is this any different from other pro systems? From what I hear, Nikon and Canon users are having just as much fun with their gear. This is the reason I decided to relax about it last year and buy another R8 (at a very good price when the R9 was being introduced), so I'd have a spare, with an R6.2 as double backup. The R8 is the ideal reflex camera to me, so I'll just have to live with it's foibles. Still, it shouldn't rip up film. Regards, Rick.
