Subject: [Leica] Run on Leica R lenses :-)

I think the lens changing is something you get used to
and I just hold the lens and camera differently
between my EOS and R8.
I do find the EOS layout good once I have got the
settings I want, OTOH I find the setting changes
extremely unintuitive. I do find the R8 ugly but it is
so well laid out I like it a lot. The R wide angle
lenses are very much superior to the Canon ones though
IME some long lens are not.
