Yes, combined in the ugliest slr ever - R8
(why Leica made such ugly and big slr when their rf cameras are so cute
and small is out of my imagination... R8 also looks like it's been made by
a designer on a bad trip, imho. I much prefer the early German hardware
(like Contax S, Contaxes, Leicas #,M3,...) to those strange ugly R8 slrs.
BTW, who will bet that Contax S is the nicest SLR ever ;) ?
