It balances well with the (heavy) R glass. IMHO - The R8 is the most comfortable, well balanced SLR I have ever owned - including: Leica R3, Alpa, Olympus, Pentax, Nikon F through N90s, Cannon, Like the M cameras the R8 feels and operates like a synergistic extension of my hand. Everything is exactly where it should be. The ability to read strobes in F mode is a dream come true. The M mode is wonderful use when carrying both M6 and R8. If you use and R8 I can't imagine that you would not fall in love within days. When I had R3's I could not bring my self to dump the Nikon stuff. When I got the R8 - I had no problem dumping the Nikons because they never came out of the bag. George
