Hi Rick,
And when you become accustomed to the ergonomics of the R8, that secure
feel in your hand when operating it, it becomes feels quite strange
holding an M6 or other "R body" smaller camera.

Although now I'm using a proto type Tom Abrahamsson RapidGrip on an M6,
I find the M6 much easier to handle, certainly while using an R8 during
the same shoot.
