In a message dated 98-09-18 21:49:34 EDT, you write:

 managed to capture the backs of their heads every time. I said >>

I have found that to be true with the R4 and the R6, I messed with an R8 the
other day and thought that it might be a little faster, but I'm not sure. The
Leica SLR that seems closest to an M body in speed is the original Leicaflex,
The SL version also seems fast but a little slower than the Standard.
My favorite 35mm reflex combination is the Leicaflex Standard with the 35mm
Elmarit. The combination has a very bright, easy to focus screen(in the
center) with M-like speed.
These comments are based on my impressions, not actual measurements. Maybe
someone else has "factual" comments.
