So he dumped his R8 and instead got an M6 and an EOS 1N. His R8 now enjoys a second life at the Leica Academy in Solms... Interesting litterature but I sure do hope that such mishappenings are an exception.>>>>>>>> Pascal, And did you ever hear of the mercedes that didn't work right? Or Cadillac or Honda? This kind of thing is all negative! How about when you see something like this , you just chalk it up to one in how many are working beautifully!!! Besides, you have no idea how well this person handled the equipment. There are some dummies out there who don't read the manuals first, screw something up while playing with it and then blame it all on the machine! At the moment there are more working and satisfied customers than are one guy who got a bad one! Like the say, "shit happens!" ted
