Avoid R4's below the 1,600,000 serial number cutoff.  Cameras after this

I don't believe these cutoffs.
I have a R4 with number 161xxx. It has been repaired two times because
the shutter failed (don't know exactly what it was). Now it happened a
third time. From these experiences I would say: stay away from R4s.
