>I would like to know what makes the R4 such a criticized camera.

Under heavy professional use, it tends to break. I always found the film
advance was its weakest point. But I used R4s for years professionally.
When they started breaking more than once a year, I'd replace them. They
were pretty cheap, at about $450, so they were not that expensive a way to
use Leica glass.
