Hi John,

I'm like you, I use them and they work hard and rarely have I had a complaint
other than the **&^%^%$#%^&@@#$^&*& R4! :)  And I know I'm not alone on that
one.

However all the rest of them, a bunch of all models and versions over the past 4
decades have worked like a charm under all kinds of conditions and I figure them
to be like a good woman, work her hard with respect and she'll give you
excellent service. :)

Now I know I'm going to be in deep doo doo for that one! :) But it's said with
affection. :)

I have an M6 at the moment that the vertical and horizontal focus frames aren't
right on the mark, so big deal it still focuses ok. You just learn to live with
little bitty things like that and don't make a big deal out of it.  Sure some
day I'll get it adjusted. But it isn't a life and death thing like some think it
is.:)
