The photos at Erwin Puts' site are fascinating. From what I've seen, I
think the camera is gorgeous!
But, Roger, I have one question:
The body looks quite different than what I've seen in the local shops. Is
it based on another makers body (as were the R4 thru 7) or is it entirely a
LEICA design? It doesn't really matter - just curious.
Thanks for this and any other *fun* R8 information you can share.
