An interesting question to me. After many years of rangefinder use, both
screw and M, I am slowly building up and R system. (The R system is on hold
right now while I pay of my 75 Summilux)
I find the R system quite a chunk to carry around and prefer not to if I'm
going to be walking around carrying everything. If I'm taking it somewhere
and setting it down it's OK.
For low light or fast action I still prefer a rangefinder!
Cheers!
