I am an enthusiastic M6 user, and have owned virtually every M camera made. But Jim is right - for me at least, the R8 allows more flexibility and gives me better results. I think it's the best camera I've ever owned. The 19mm and 60mm lenses are fantastic! Sure is ugly, though. And it could stand to be slimmed down. Bob Woods St. Paul, Minnesota P.S. I know this is probably way off-topic, but does anyone on the list have experience with the most recent Kiev 88 TTL cameras? My brother just ordered two with the 30mm fish-eye lens (one for me) and I wonder if it's really as bad as some have said.
