As for Nikon Bashing, it's fine since the F5 is made to take knocks, especially from the pros ;-) I am sure there will be some R8 owners who disagree with your rationalisation, but cost is inevitably a factor and the Leica gear is expensive. That said, my new M6 habit is sucking my bank account dry, although there is a quality in the pictures that I take with the M6 that I have not seen from the F5. Can't put my finger on it, but it is there. If you want the info on Nikon, go to http://www.graysofwestminster.co.uk and feast your eyes. Now, let's hear no more of this Nikon talk, let's talk Leica.
