Dan,

Once you see a roll of your favorite slide film shot with the 100 Apo Macro
Elmarit, your doubt will disappear. Which body you mount it on is of secondary
importance. I personally have the R8 and I love it, or you can get the R6.2 or
any of the older R models second-hand.

Which threads give you pause regarding buying the R system?

Nathan
