This may not be the exact answer you are looking for, but it may help. I
had two R4-sp's and one R6 for the past five or six years. I used the
cameras extensively during this period. I found that I used the R6 much
more than the R4-sp, mainly because of mirror lock-up. I know this is not
an R6.2 but perhaps they are kin. I've run probably thousands of rolls
through the R6 without a single problem. Through the snows of Colorado to
the California desert, it worked flawlessly.
