(could be, that i be one myself - i slowly begin to warn my beloved wife about huge investments which may come in the near future...) to my "film end problem": this must be really a malfunction - it happens at some rolls of film, at some other rolls the film will stop correctly - maybe the winder is too strong? i will contact leica austria. may i introduce myself shortly: i work as a photojournalist (since about 10 years with nikon F4, and a leica M6 with some lenses since about 3 years); know i feel the time has come to replace the little bit worn out nikon-equipment; and i'm wondering, if the R8 would be a nice camera-system for my daily work especially with tele-lenses (my F4 i mainly use with the 21 and a 80-200 zoom). that's why i'm testing the R8 know. my first impressions are a bit different - but quite positive; i have to learn more about the use of this camera. i watch the LUG (especially also your photographic experiences) since about 3 years and know, that i'm in best hands for advices about leica. thank you - i will ask you, if there are more questions... regards, thomas __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
