And yes teh R8 might cost an extra $560 with winder and it's only 1/4 the speed of the F5. Don't get me wrong, as far as I'm concerned, the F5 is the best thing about the Nikon system. With Leica, it's the glass. >better, but please tell me Nikon ain't chopped liver (I just ordered an F5)! >Furthermore, everyone knows that all Nikon 35mm lenses surpass the M 35/1.4 >and 2.0 ASHP's, right Erwin? :) Everyone knows the Puff the Magic Dragon lives by the sea... ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch I don't suffer from insanity.
