[LRflex] Re: Newbie intro

Welcome Dave.  Let me add my two cents.  I started with an R4, (had two of 
them) but to add one more camera to the choices for you, when I got my R8, the 
R4s saw very little use.  R8 was about as close to perfect as any camera I have 
owned in the last 40 years with one exception - the weight.  Since you have a 
5D, then the bulk of the R8 will not be an issue for you.  So, if you happen to 
come across one in your search, give it a try.  Once you hold it, or the R9, in 
your hands and shoot a few frames you will be hooked.  Bright viewfinder, very 
accurate metering in all modes, convenient mirror lock-up, easy to use exposure 
compensation, fits like a glove...  What more could one ask for?  OK, maybe 
about half the bulk.  The R9 is lighter, but I blew my wad on the R8 before the 
R9 came out.

Hi there,
 
I am currently using a Canon 5Dm2 and since I've bought a Summicron-R 50 f2 to 
be used with adaptor on my Canon, I am hooked!! I've since bought a 35 cron n a 
50 lux.  currently, looking for a film SLR.
 
Deciding between R4S, R-E, R5 or R6.2.  advice?

Thanks.  I am in Singapore btw.
