     Hi Jim,
     
      I have R3, R4, RE and R6, let alone several Leicaflex, SL's and 
     SL2's.  As you pointed out, current M6 is problematic while the R 
     models are as reliable as the old workhorses, any model of 
     Leicaflexes.
      I have never had any problems with my reflex bodies so far.  I have 
     seen, however, a couple of erratic R3's.
     
     Regards,
     David

I've been reading with interest the M6 problem reports. If I were 
experiencing these problems with one of the worlds best cameras, I'd be 
screaming my bloody head off. Being an R user, I have not experienced any 
problems. I wonder why the plethora of problems seems to be associated with 
the M camera. And the problems always seem to be the same. Wind lever 
falling off, frame counter not working, etc. Someone is not yelling loud 
enough. THEY CAN'T HEAR YOU!!! Is there any set of problems that plagued 
the R cameras? I've had R3's, R4's, an R6, and now R7's and find them very 
substantial. The R8 doesn't count yet as it's still a baby. Perhaps it's 
that this list is made-up of mostly M users so that's why M problems seem 
to dominate. But I know there are R users out there. Anyone have any 
repeating problems??? Or any problems at all???
