I hear the shutter is not as accurate as the R7 but hopefully it will still be repairable for years to come.> I was discussing the difference between the all mechanical shutter of the R6 vs the electronically controlled shutter in the R7. The electronic shutter in the R7 according to my sources is more accurate than the all mechanical shutter in the R6. I did not mean to imply that the R7 shutter was better than the R8. I hope this clears up misunderstandings my statement may have caused. Sincerely, Richard - ------------------------------ Richard Clompus, OD West Chester, Pennsylvania, USA
