Stop down metering? I guess it doesn't have an automatic aperture, but how much of a work around would that be? You would focus wide open and then quickly stop down? Does the image get too dark to see? I am very interested as I love the R8 and the price keeps dropping and all I have now is the M6. The expensive thing about the R being the lens, I thought I'd be saving far into the next millennium for the 100 macro which cost twice the camera. Not having to get a lens with the camera would make the whole thing more doable. Mark Rabiner
