R3 would be cheap, but frustrating for lack of light measurement up to your standards on the F5. The R4 to 7 might do the trick as they are both smaller and lighter than F5, but you'd still miss the martix magic and they're not so convenient to use due to poorer ergonomics (too small when you have large hands). The R8 and 9 are fantastic machines IMHO but much bulkier. The R9 is lighter, but still quite expensive by now. I know we also have SL and SL2 users or owners over here - the SL2 is the way to go if you want to have a fully mechanical camera while enjoying the full range of R lenses. Not the SL. Both have the best viewfinders you can dream of, ever (right? Doug). About Ms, lots of advice will be better given from experts here. It might be a route if you get into more street photography, landscapes, even portrait. Thanks again for the pointer to your site - some of the cyclists' are just WOW ! Congratulations. I also liked the first portrait very much. Amiti?s from (Tour de) France Phil...x Justin F.
