Subject: [Leica] R8 motordrive - this must be a sick joke!
From: Pascal <cyberdog@ibm.net>

Just read on the Leica webpages 
(http://www.leica-camera.com/r_system/racc_e.htm):

- --------
Motor-Drive R8 
For the LEICA R8. Leica design. Frame frequency 2 fps or 4 fps.
Motorised film advance and film rewind, quiet, smooth running.
Bracketing function. Available probably at the end of '99.
- --------

END OF '99 ????? I realized there have been manufacturing "problems" due 
to the fact that their first subcontractor could not deliver, but 
apparently the same has happened to the second subcontractor as well...

With deep regrets and no further comments,

Pascal
