Ah, progress.

It's gotten so I can practically tell which photos have been shot with 
these autofocus wonders -- the main subject is always smack under one of 
the focus sensors.

Can you say Lazy Composition?

And by the way, why such an issue with the R8 wind lever which, by the way, 
has such a short throw that you would never want to multi-stroke it anyway? 
Last time I looked, the F100 has no wind lever at all. Of course, you do 
get all those nice plastic lenses that the screws fall out of in about 6 
months as part of the bargain.

Just admit it B.D. -- you've never actually touched an R8!
