I'll be looking at the R8 again this morning (unfortunately, none of the dealers in the DC area stock an R6.2--nor the 100 apo macro). > Which threads give you pause regarding buying the R system? My only hesitation stems from the possibility that there may never be a digital back or body for R lenses. I'm planning on going the digital route on the printing side, and do believe that there will come a day when digital capture devices meet or exceed the capablities of film. When that happens, I'd like for my substantial investment in glass not to be rendered obsolete. But, as I mentioned in the last post, there really is no other choice out there for manual focus users (for new 35 mm SLR's). Nikon is the only other possibility, and I wouldn't be surprised if they also ditched manual equipment as they move forward. Regards, Dan
