LUGS,

 I find the R8 a pleasure to use. It makes shooting more natural for me than
>any other camera I've used except the M6.
 
I agree with Eric and Ted.  I had an R8 for a while.  The only reason I
sold it and re-bought M equipment was weight and I have an eye problem that
caused problems focusing an SLR.  I loved the R8 as a picture taker and
thought it was superb. The LUGGER I sold it too also loves it, and the
LUGGER I tried to sell it too said  he hated it and only liked the F5 - but
now has sold the F5 and owns an R8!

Not for everybody - the spice of life.

(Of course you may write me off as a nut as I also lke the red spot!!)
