Walter,
Personally I think the R8 & 9 are some of the best manual focus SLRs
ever made. They look clunky, but in reality, they fit your hand very
easily. I've used mine for film and digital (with a DMR). Just lovely.
Once you get past the looks and use it, you'll be very happy.
Best wishes,
Charlie

Looking for comment and opinion here.
I shoot quite a bit of 35mm film, well 1 or 2 rolls a week seems
like a
lot to me considering I shoot digital as well. Mostly I pack a
Leica R7
but I have an R5 as backup, I also shoot a Nikon F100 using some
legacy
glass and finally a Konica T3, also with legacy glass. Mostly I use
the
Leica system. I am wondering about whether it is worth me upgrading
to
an R8 or R9 considering:
1) Is there that much difference in handling and/or results between
the
R7 and R8-9
2) Right now it is easy relatively convenient for me to have 35mm
processed but I'd hate to buy a camera and find I have to mail my negs
interstate for development so is it just silly to stick with film?
I'm just looking for opinions and perhaps insights from people who may
have moved from early Rs to the R8 or R9 cameras.
Walter
