I dare say it does have excellent ergonomics, I handled the R8 in Solms
just after it came out and I just didn't like it.
There are probably plenty of women who have got better ergonomics then
my wife, but Frauke is prettier, so I've got what I want and won't
change her one that is a bit younger and can dance a little better -
same applies to film cameras. :-)
By the way, my idea of perfect ergonomics in cameras is still the Rollei
SL2000F/3003 system, superb Zeiss lenses too. Whether you hold it right
handed, left handed, upside down, over your head or however you want,
you've always got a shutter release button at the end of some fingertip
or other (the 3003 has 3!, 4 if you count the self-timer). Rock-steady
with a video camera like hand-loop attached, or rested in the palm of
your hand when using the top finder. Add to that another viewfinder,
interchangeable backs and powerpacks too - pity it didn't survive long
enoughto get a digital back, it was actually planned but never went into
production.
Cheers
Douglas
BTW David, isn't that a Bohemian Waxtail ;-)
