You mean because of longer lenses or zooms? Point taken. I shot a rodeo once with an F3 and MD-4, I wouldn't use it today, not with 5-sensor predictive AF and 8fps in the F5. For 4.5 fps (the speed of the huge add-on as-yet-still-a-rumor motor drive for the R8) the F100 has it built in and weighs the same as the R8 alone. I think we should lock the Leica lens designers in a room with the Nikon body designers and don't let them out until they come out smiling.
