On another list a photographer compared his bird photos made with a Nikon F5 
and AF-S lenses with his photos made with the R8 and modular APO-Telyts.  The 
Nikon produced many photos that were pretty good, but it often missed focus by 
a bit and in his words "a miss is a miss".  With the R/APO-Telyt combination 
when focus was off it was usually WAAY off but when it was "on" it was 
spectacular and he reports more 'keepers' with the R than with the Nikon.
