Valid reason, I did not get that from your post, must not have been paying
attention. Luckily that has only happened to me a couple of times. These
days due to my getting a R8 and also my M6TTL and M8, the R4SP has goten
almost no use. I need to put it up for sale to generate some cash for a 24
or 21mm lens for the M8. This way someone can get some good use out of it.
