One would hope that Leica owners are able to accept that some people (who are Leica users) do not love everything about the M and R camera systems. I like many things about my M system, but I recognize that there are things that I think should be better. Someone else is bound to disagree with my assessment. This does not make either of us evil or scum. It just means we disagree. Hopefully we can disagree intelligently and will good will instead of petty name calling. I happen to not like the design of the R8. To me it lacks flexibility and features and it not comfortable for me. I prefer to use Canon and Contax SLR systems. I certainly understand that for others, the R8 is just right..... Tom Shea
