Sometimes we get out of line, and then we self-correct. 

Hey, I have begun reading Eastland's R8 book. This guy was intimately
invovled in the design of this camera. Boy did he (and Leica too!) do a
great job! And the information is quite useful. Like how well protected the
R8 is from dust and moisture (even the stop-down lever on the front which
looks too open at first glance). The more I read, the more I see why I like
my R8 is because it's so well thought out, and not an accident.

It's the best SLR I've ever used. (Take that EOS1n and F5! <G>).
