Bill, I had this R8, and had waited too long to get a DMR, new ... It disappeared too fast; that's life ... yet one more regret in my own life Well, painting is also something I regret most, so ... My tip : Keep your DMR, nothing can beat that so far if you've been a Leica SLR user , NO THING out of the R world can beat an R (or an M BTW) that's what love is about, he said on Valentine's day ... (An aside - I'd be happy to swap the D700 for a working DMR, any time. Watch the Friday for sale in the coming months ;-) Bien amicalement Philippe If you guys / Mensch at Leica AG are reading this; shame on you for the frustrations you've bought to ordinary folks who had trusted you PERIOD SCHLUSS Le 14 févr. 11 à 21:30, William B.
