There, on page 47, was a new 4C ad (full page) for the R8. The camera, with 80 mounted, is tilted up and on its back against a dark blue textured (visually odd) background with the film advance lever at the bottom of the image. Photo of the camera is OK sharp, but not crisp, or 8x10 contact print awsome. Fine though, and an improvement for those who didn't like the first ad. Overall, and counting text, it's an OK ad. Odd, though, that it would be placed in a lifestyles of the self-indulgent-type magazine, rather than a photo mag. Mmmmm. David W. Almy Annapolis, Maryland
