Donal, That 10,000 rolls figure on the R7 is most interesting. I would have had about 31 failures in total by then with my Contax RTS IIIs at their present rate. Is Luis Casteneda on e-mail or do you have his snail mail address? And do you know more about the way he travels and the environment he works in: rural countryside, town or desert? Regards, Otto
