I considered buying the first version, but the manual functions were too hard to access and the AF was apparently weak. It's still more like a "leica-ized" P&S than a "digitized" Leica to my eye, but I suppose it'd be very hard to put digital guts in something that looked and felt like the LX, at least with current technology. >From: "Christian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >How about the Leica Digital back for the R-8 and R-9? 1) I'm not a Leica guy, but what I've seen of the R-8 and R-9 are not what I myself would call "old-fashioned look and feel". If the back fit an R-4 or R-5, it'd be different. 2) I'll believe in the Leica digital back when it actually comes on the market. DJE
