Hello lugnuts,

In the last issue of CDI, the R8 is presented as a true lemmon...
To big, ugly looking, to expensive, poorly motorized...
They made a paper in which they list 50 items that are not worth to buy.
They include the R8, the minilux zoom, the mini 3, the Olympus OM3Ti (to
expensive, outdated) and some other stuff.
They also state that R lenses users are now looking for second hand RE or R6
instead of getting the R8.
Is this true? I personnally have 3 'flex and one R6 (heavily used) that I
was thinking of replacing possibly by a R8. What do you think about it?
Thib.
