The choice of an R4s is a problem, as just mentioned. I found not having 
the shutter speed in the viewfinder a bit of a pain, though you can say 
that of my M6 as well. <G>

You can have Leica modify it. Jim Stanfield showed me his R4s, and it had 
the shutterspeeds in the viewfinder. Leica did it for him. But, a cheaper 
alternative would be the R4sP which has that feature.

>From what I've read, Sebastia Salgado, who probably puts cameras through 
more in one year than most of us would in a decade, says the R6(.2) is 
very reliable.
