I am not sure if you are agreeing or remonstrating so:

Any SLR camera with a beam splitter for metering or AF needs a circular 
polarizer. The R8, like many other non-AF SLRs, has a beam splitter for 
metering. Some SLRs can use a linear polarizer. The Nikon FE and FM 
series are one example (metering in the prism). The Nikon F3, metering 
in the body, does require a circular polarizer.
