As I've mentioned a couple of times in the past, I own (in my family) an R4sP that has, every time it has been checked at a Leica "clean and check" gathering, reported 0% error on all speeds, 1 sec to 1/1000th sec. Ernst Hartmann told me that I should keep it as obviously everything is in perfect "tune" within this camera. A couple of years ago I upgraded to R7's, but kept this particular R4sP in the family. I traded one of my sons this R4sP camera for his R3. And traded in the R3 towards the R7's. The R4sP has an electronic shutter. Jim
