Simon said in part:
 Too big, too fiddly and too much bother to learn how to use.
Unfortunatly this criticism includes most of the R models and especially
the R8. If I wanted to carry a camera that huge, I'd just use my
Hasselblad. Leicas are meant to be small, that's the whole reason Oskar
invented them in the first place!

Simon Stevens

That may have been true when Oskar invented his system, but I think he died
still learning and trying to be inovative until the end.  Try to shoot a
rodeo with a M6;;been there, don't do it.
