My feeling from having and using them all is that the Leicaflex fires more quickly and with less delay than the R 4 to R7's. The R3 seems to be between the SL and the R4 and on. This is only my impression from the feel and sound of the cameras. Has anyone actually measured these different bodies? BTW, the Leicaflex standard with the mirror locked up seems about as fast as an M body. Bob Figlio
