When you do Richard, please let me know if it has the longest,
awfullest shutter release known in cameradom.  I recently found some
Leica R lensesand an R5 I had neglected for over a decade.  I also got
an RE.  They both have an awfully long shutter travel, with a really
uncertain feeling at the release point.  Impossible for me to use
well.  I'm still considering an R8/9, but I'd prefer some of the
smaller and lighter Leica bodies.  If the R6/6.2 have decent shutter
releases, I'd be able to live with them.
