Hi Doug, I don't really _feel_ like a leicaholic, but I am noticing the number of camaras I own with "Wetzlar" scratched on them does seem to be growing! And after recently getting an SL, I am starting to think an R camera might not be a bad idea, as back up for the SL or for when I am feeling particularly lazy and don't feel like putting much thought into metering. Or maybe for use with a winder or motor. So I was wondering if you (or anyone else for that matter) could share your opinion of the R4sP. As I don't want to spend the big bucks for an R7 or 8, this R4 version might be just what I need. What do you think? Could an M3/M4/SL kind of guy learn to love one of these earlier R cameras? Or would I just kick myself for not getting an SL2 before the price goes any further through the roof? Regards, Bob Kramer P.S. A nice user M5 is starting to sound pretty sweet as well!!!!
