(i always thought, that i have "normal sized" hands, i'm used to handle a Nikon F4 reflex very well); on first touch, the R8 for me does'nt remember to anything like "handling a sensous woman".... :-( but what i would like to ask experienced R8ers: there seems to be no (clear?) warning when the full film is exposed - i exposed up to frame 46 when i realised, that the film-end allready has arrived... is this normal? does'nt the film stop automaticaly at film end? one more: there seems to be a little delay between pressing the shutter-button and exposing - is this slow reaction normal? (compared to M6 or F4) my other impressions: the 180/2,8 is just LOVELY!!! the technical features of the R8 seem very well layoutet for reasonable photographic work; more impressions will follow after this week... regards, thomas __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
