Re: [Leica] R3 light trapping repair

["RP Johnson" <rpjohnson2@home.com>]

Axel,

I am not a do it yourself person (especially when it comes to glue) so I had
the foam in my R4 replaced just last week.  The price was $49.  I don't know
if the R3 has the little window on the door to see the film canister, so
your cost may vary.
