Given the difference in time zones between Michigan and central
Connecticut, it's not surprising that Santa (disguised as a UPS delivery
person) arrived here a couple of weeks ago to drop off an R4 outfit. 
Santa is not a LUG member and therefore did not read the posts concerning
the problems with the R4.  

Like Ken, I also note a solid feel to both the body and the lenses.  The
initial results on Tri-X (inc. one casual portrait with the 90mm under
available indoor light - 1/30 at f/4 handheld) are spectacular even if I
do say so myself.
