But, sorry to say, I just can't warm to the shape and design of the R8/R9 body, and the advantages over and above the R7 aren't really anything that would warrant me changing to a new Leica body. cheers Douglas firkin wrote: > Nice work out for the DMR: The combination of natural fading and > internal shop light is something I've played around with in b/w, but > digital makes it possible with colour.
