I have the ground glass and do pretty well with it, but when switching back and forth with my SL, I notice a much better "feeling" about my focusing with the SL. I don't know if it's due to a slight brightness advantage of the SL or due to its microprism screen. This gives rise to the temptation to try a microprism for the R8, but I have a natural resistance to "messing around" inside my camera and am wondering if it will even be worthwhile to switch. I use the R8 with everything from 24mm to 400, but mostly 90, 180 f3.4, and 400 f6.8. Anyone tried this? Thanks, as always.............Julian - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
