The finders of those I looked at were not equal to the R8. Going to Texas in December, I will see if I can try one then.

Extremely good 24 mp sensor with an astoundingly good viewfinder which reminds me of the great finders on the Nikon F et al/Leica SL and SL2. Great camera although not cheap, except by Leica standards. ;-) Jim Laird On Sun, Oct 24, 2010 at 9:55 PM, <grduprey at mchsi.com> wrote: > Already tried Canon with R glass and was underwhelmed. ?Don't care for > Sony DSLRs, even less as I don't care for canon DSLRs. ?I'll take DMR with > R glass anyway over the alternatives. > > Cheers, > Gene > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Richard Man" <richard at imagecraft.com> > To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> > Sent: Saturday, October 23, 2010 1:20:09 AM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central > Subject: Re: [Leica] D700 > > Some guy on the GETDIP showed some pictures with a 900+ Leica R glass.
