Matthew---
	You might call Leica and ask them to send you a new gasket for the film
window. The original material was not up to snuff, and at every one of
those "clean and check" sessions that Leica puts on at some of its dealers,
the factory service rep routinely replaces that item on every R4 they are
handed, without even being asked to.
