Looks like Ralph finds gripping this camera about as comfortable as holding a turd. At least Ralphie Boy had the good sense to put an angled rewind crank on that garish monstrosity. Tear the red wetsuit off it and it would be usable piece -- for about $2,000 new. Seeing this makes me fear for the usefulness of the M8. It may take a great mental leap to conclude that it's a worthwhile tool for a working photographer, particularly for $5,000. C'mon, Zeiss, where's the real digital rangefinder we're dreaming of? rs ______________________________________ www.robertschneider.com www.schneiderpix.com On Jun 5, 2006, at 9:25 AM, B. D.
