But then I've used R4s for about 13 years. Besides, the R4 is based on the XD-11, the R3 was based on the XD-7. And the differences were more inside. The film advance, and the shutter and body shell were about the only things they had in commmon. The mirror, pentaprism, electronics and many other parts were completely different. =========== Eric Welch Grants Pass, OR
