As expected there is a lot of excitement about the R8. The new camera is bulkier, and at 890 grams it's not light but once you handle one, you'll fall in love. I know I did. In addition to the R8 and the new lenses, Leica will be introducing a BLACK minilux. There will also be some new products from Minox. Three new compact cameras and 4 compact binoculars. If any Canadian subscribers to this list would like to receive brochures on the new Leica and Minox products (as soon as they arrive), send your request by e-mail to: kindrman@istar.ca Cheers!
