I keep hearing how some people have had problems with some of them, well I own 1, and used 2 different ones at work (I use them exclusively there), and not one of them has a single problem since purchased. But please..... comparing the F4 to the R8......Well whats next comparing an 88 Accord with a brand new Mercedes? I also use the F5 at work, which I must admist is an excellent camera, again, one of the top in its "category", probablt the best AF SLR, and I can see how you might have gone there over the R8, but not the F4. - -- Regards, Alexander http://www.mediadyne.gr/photos - --------------5C55845F4ACC59146D782937 Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-7 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> <blockquote TYPE=CITE> <pre>I asked for advice on lenses to go with a new R8 a few weeks ago and got alot of useful info, including suggestions that I not buy an R8.
