The F5 is an awesome camera. And the R8 makes it seem quite reasonable in
size. :-)

Note: I hear the new AF-S 80-200 2.8 is going to sell for $2,000. Now we
know the REAL reason Nikon was dragging their feet on this one. I sure
think I'd rather have the Leica for $1,000 more, but I'll have to see when
a friend gets one. I'm one lucky dude on that point - again, thanks Ted! :-)
