Maybe M cameras don't break if you look at them funny. I have seen so many
used R bodies, still looking to find one that works, I found only one R6.2
out of the lot that was 100%. All of the rest had flaws and problems. I did
find one R8, but that comes with a ticking sound and a pin.

Anyone that comes on this forum and says that R is just as reliable as M is
basically trying to get another one free from the factory, to replace the
broken one in the bottom of their fish tank.

I love the R series, they are total crap and I wouldn't shoot anything else.
I press the button, turn the dials and the lense does the rest. For a
serious camera I am looking at Contax.
