I'm especially interested in the auto bracketing capability of the motor, mostly for aerial photography. Have you used that feature much? I have an SL and SL2 with lenses: 35/2.8, 50/2 90/2.8 180/3.4 (!!) and 280/4.8, and am really looking forward to the just-purchased R8. If someone already covered the motor in the archives, well, hey, this is just a friendly hello, and I'll go to the archives if I can find my bookmark to them. BTW - a couple of fun shoots recently - was on Humboldt Bay in a chase boat last week-end to photograph a rowing crew regatta. In fact, fumbling with exposures on the SL was what finally convinced me to go with the R8. Also just completed four flights for the Army Corp of Engineers for aerial photos of Stone Lagoon spit dynamics after it breached to the ocean last month. Let's see, that sea and air - for land, I did two scouting trips with the M6 to find a redwood grove to shoot frolicking Humboldt State students for an admissions brochure. Well, probably just a notch under "frolicking', since it's mostly their parents who will read the brochure and pay the tab!
