I suggest you got to a store and try ur r5 with an r8 side by side and see which one feels more comfortable to you. all i can tell u is that the viewfinder in the R8 is a lot better ,brighter than the RTS III. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks, Mehrdad - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Jens Putzier Sent: Saturday, January 19, 2002 6:42 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] First question Hello, I recently joined this list and since I only have one lens and one camera there are many questions I have. Let me begin with the first one: I have a R5 that I bought because it came in like new condition with box and papers and it was much cheaper than the R8 and not too large. Since I wear glasses, I find it very hard to see the picture in the finder and all the viewfinder displays. I guess the viewfinder is not what you would call high eyepoint.... Could anyone of you say, whether the R8 viewfinder is more high eyepoint and maybe even brighter? If so, I might try to trade the R5 in for a R8.
