My R's serial number is 0000 1524. Is your's considerably lower. Unfortunately, I plan to wear mine out, but after more than a year of carrying it stuffed into my briefcase and actually taking pictures every day, I can't find any signs of wear. Oh, and the current softies don't fit it. Are you planning to modify them? I find that the shutter release is smoother than my Leicas'. How about a Bessa rapidwinder (I don't mind modern "plastic" but bakelite is out). Anyway, I have stopped trying to convince the LUG that the Cosina/Bessa is a good camera. Keep up the comments, though. I originally meant to give the camera to my daughter since it was less money than a CLA for a LSM body. Perhaps if someone would convince me that it was bad, I could pass it on now. ;) hilsens fra Bill Larsen
