The problem with my rewind clearance button is that when I press it down to feel the "click" and then try to reset it to ordinary position (by rewinding or by shifting the mutiple exposure tab), the button only comes up 1/4 way thru. I have to turn the camera upside down and to tab it many times to have it fully pop up. This feeling is so insecure that I don't feel confortable in using it. Nightmare will be making mutiple exposure when I do not intend to. BTW, I gather from your posts that you also use a R8. Is it reliable and tough as prior models? Thanks.
