Nice cheap outfit to run a >Leica lens on. > You know, I used to have an R4s, and I was perfectly happy with it (except for the fact that I couldn't see the manually-set shutter speed in the VF, but Leica could actually fix that on this camera and had fixed it in all R4sP's). But the thing that made me sell it and get another R6 was that it had no mirror prefire, which was bad when doing macrophotography, where I often found myself at shutter speeds from 1/4 - 1/15 sec. Something that has occurred to me to wonder is -- is it possible to modify cameras like the R4sP, R5, and R-E to have mirror prefire? Doesn't seem like it'd be impossible -- does anyone know if Leica can do this? - -Patrick
