The R4 is the first newer design after the R3 and has a few anomolies
(mirror vibration being one.) I suggest getting an R4s-P instead... at
around the same price. A more mature design of the same vintage and has a
few more features, such as easy 1/3 stop +/- exposure bracketing (up to 2+
stops) and a quiet'er mirror.
