It was merely a first impression and not meant either as a knock on the book or a book review. The lens section is short and I guess I was expecting a longer commentary like in his M book. Howver, he does cover all the current lens, including the new zooms and APOs. The hit and miss comment was based on an impression as I have only read about 1/3 of the book and paged through the rest. For instance on page 54 under Flashguns he mentions that "the R5 and R6 provide dedicated flash operation with TTL." No mention is made of the R8, or even the R7! However, later in Chapter 13 he does cover electronic flash in some detail and includes the R7 and R8 (haven't read it so far). I like the book. Like the M book it is exactly 152 pages long!! It has a lot of useful charts and information. Dick Richard Hemingway Norman, OK
