It appears to have three positions - large dot, small dot, and none at all. What does it do? 2) There's what looks like a red LED set into the left hand end of the camera (i.e. on the same side as the rewind knob). Is this something to do with the battery check? Any anyway how do I check the battery? 3) In the viewfinder I can only see the bottom half of the apertures on the 50/2 Summicron. Is this normal - seems that they're read directly off the lens ring? I seem to remember reading somewhere that the R3 MOT was rather more reliable than the standard R3 - anyone got chapter and verse on this? TIA for your collective wisdom.
