I'm thinking of buying a Leica again, and am wondering about the features of the R4 and R5. What are the differences between the two cameras? I've heard that the R5 provides TTL flash metering with the Metz SCA350 module. Will the R4 still work with that SCA module to provide dedicated automatic flash metering, even if it's not metered during the actual exposure? I've also heard that models of the R4 with serial numbers beginning in 153 and 154 have problems with light leaks and with their electronics. Is that true? Is the R5 a better made camera than the R4? Thank you for any and all opinions. - -- Erich Champion : mailto:echampio@adobe.com : 408.536.6497 Voice User Education : Adobe Systems Incorporated : 408.537.4040 Fax - --
