I wanted to own a Leica for years and years. I finally got an R4s and a 50 'cron with the birth of ebay. For paying such a small amount of money I got to experience Leica glass quality and have never looked back. That camera (in which I was the 2nd owner) is still in use alongside an M and it has never given me any trouble - even after riding on top of the roof of my car, going up Mt. Ranier, sailing through the Virgin Islands, and many more escapades. It is with a big sigh that I am thinking about selling it so I can get an older user M - simply because I have become so accustomed to the M way of shooting. If I do sell it, I have no doubts that the next owner will have no problems either.
