Knew there was something that I forgot to do the other day. Rest
assured, I'll be at Reba's side shortly.
Meanwhile, the 6.2 has a redesigned faster shutter allowing it to go to
1/2000 sec. Let's see, that and I think the shutter knob is raised a
tad higher making its operation a bit easier and faster. STM that there
was one other difference, but darned if I can remember. Ah, just
remembered. The 6.2 has a magnifying lens over the frame counter window
allowing old eyes to better read the current frame number.
Except for the 1/2000 sec. the differences are small, and the R6 can be
found in EX+ to MINT condition more easily at much less cost.
