Looking forward to seeing you again and meeting other LUG folks who are attending. It will be a bonus shaking hands with names on the screen! :) <<< I'm going to call Leica USA & see if they can bring some of the new r8 standard screens out to Kennebunkport.I've got all split image screens in my R8s & would welcome using a screen w/o that interference in the middle >>> That's a good idea, as Ernest Hartmann will be able to make changes without any concern of trying to do it yourself. Make sure you ask for the "ground glass screen". It still has the "spot selective circle" marked for measuring, but gives an absolutely clean screen and is recommended for both macro and tele lens use. I have used them for years and much prefer it over the split image screen, as you see everything without any interfering squigglies. regards, ted
