     Hi,
     
     Somebody said that R4S had been as problematic as the earlier R4, 
     which is quite opposite to what I have been hearing from the dealers.  
     According to them, R4S should be fine because Leica simplified the R4 
     to R4S by taking Programmed and Shutter-priority modes off.  These two 
     modes were causing a bunch of problems in the electronic circuits.
     
     As far as I know, R4S-P is basically the same as R4S with a little 
     more advancements.  Also all the R4's manufactured after Leica 
     introduced R4S-P should be no problem if Leica fixed R4 problems on 
     R4S-P.  Any comments on this would be appreciated.
