My only complaint was that the viewfinder and all the little flashing lights were so darn hard to see; I wear glasses, and it was a real bother. If Leica could come up with a viewfinder like the Nikon F3HP, I would jump on it like a duck on a Junebug, but until then I'll stick with the good ole SL! If you don't wear glasses, the R-7 is a really sweet camera, though, and solid as a rock.
