Hi Fred,
R 6.2 is unfortunately not me.
Rather I lost the competition for an R8 ...(for later digital use)
My intent is to go digital without sacrificing too much of what I like
(lenses, feel, noise, bokeh, etc) and benefit from what the digital
camera can bring me (processing time, communication, iso range, etc.).
Thanks again
Yours
