Eric,
I wish Nikon did 1/2 stop instead of 1/3.  1/3 too little so end up
often bracketing N +1/3 +2/3 -1/3 -2/3.  But 2/3 usually too much.  Also
too much film and time and trouble.  I am incredulous that it is not
selectable al la Canon.

Maybe I'll trade you an N90 for the R8 straight across.  And I'm
generous, so I'll throw in the grip too.  Then you'll have your 1/3
bracketing.  I've even taught it how to make good pictures, so you won't
have to worry.
