The viewfinder, particularly the SL, SL2 or R8 viewfinders. The R4-series viewfinders aren't nearly as old-eyes-friendly I'll be 50 in July, and the R4sP ceased to be a usable camera for me about 7 or 8 years ago. At that time I switched back to the Leicaflex SL and since then have had zero trouble focussing. The R8 is nearly as good.
