I like your "fleet/interchangable back" idea Doug.
Reminds me of a photographer I heard of years ago [may have been Jim
Marshall ?].
Supposedly, whenever he bought a new lens, he would buy a new body to put it
on !
BTW, I'm down to my last 2 rolls of K25, guess I'm just gonna have to suck
it up and "make do" with K64 and K200.

Tony, as I'm sure you know I'm a die-hard SL user and I've only used a borrowed R8 for a day. I found the R8's viewfinder nearly as bright as the SL viewfinder, and if you need diopter correction the R8's built-in adjustment is a big plus. In manual mode the R8 handles very much like an SL with an excellent metering display.
The main reason I'm using SL bodies instead of R8 is that I like to have several film types available at all times so I use a small fleet of SL bodies as though they were interchangable film backs, and a fleet of SLs is much more affordable than a fleet of R8 bodies.
