Bob,
You'll kick yourself for not getting a solid old wetzlar SL/SL2 if the R3/4 
goes wrong.
The surprising thing, I think, is the comparitive values placed on the SL 
and SL2. Quite why the SL is so cheap I don't know, it does 95% of what the 
SL2 does but sells for sometimes less than half the price.
If you want to mount three extra lenses and meter a stop (or two?) further 
into the darkness then buy the SL2, if not, then save a bundle and sneak an 
SL home.

Jem.

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?
