Hi Herman, Welcome to "the Zoo"!

You'll find us a friendly group, some 300+ strong, with a lot of 
expertise to share, should you ask.

I very much enjoyed looking through your site... and loved "Batman on 
the Beach"!

I can understand your unhappiness with using the Canon -particularly 
when using Leica R glass via adapters.  Personally, I switched my 
Canon for an Olympus E3. Some don't care for the smaller sensor 
(higher crop factor, etc.), but I have found it to be excellent,  and 
it handles very much like the R8/DMR combination.

I look forward to hearing more from you, and seeing more of your 
work!  Enjoy your R5 - I loved mine!

Cheers!

David (Zoo-keeper) Young.
