On a slightly more humoristic note, Francesco: it all depends if you have just had a couple of caffeine shots (that is: cups of coffee, to avoid any misunderstandings) or not... There are moments or even days when my hands are shaking slightly, so that you would not get a very sharp shot in any case, especially with the longer and heavier lenses. But the R8 is still the uncrowned king of SLR photography (maybe best, otherwise everybody would go for it...) and I can definitely feel my images have improved with that camera (or perhaps I am just paying more attention to details since it's a Leica...). ;-) Pascal - -------------------------------------------------------- Check out: http://members.xoom.com/cyberplace/ - -------------------------------------------------------- An Apple a day keeps greedy Microsoft away ! - -------------------------------------------------------- <<< PGP public key available on request >>>
