Maybe they were wrapped in anecdotes and you missed them. Could it be that no one knows???? That would shatter the reputation of this board as a fountain of information and (occasionally) wisdom. So I will pose them again, sans anecdotes, and see what happens. Does the R8 only allow film to be loaded with the auto loader, or is there a way to do positive manual leader feed, like on the R7? The question grew out of fighting to load an Nikon N90 in the downdraft of a helicopter. What makes the R8 finder SSSOOOOOOOO BRIGHT????? What controls finder brightness beyond the speed of the attached lens? Compare the finder of an R8 and a Nikon F5 and you will know why Nikon has to concentrate on AF. Donal Philby San Diego
