It is a wonderful piece of equipment, and as Doug wrote, the best viewfinder I have ever seen on any SLR. If you can live without any autoexposure options, I heartily recommend it. Nathan --> Why does not the Leica R-E come up in these "recommended" lists ? Is it fragile ? Or too expensive on the used markets to make sense? --> What makes the Leica R-E special ? --> Is the R4 that much smaller than the others ? That makes it a real contender and there's a brand new one at a local dealer, wherever he found that... Perhaps he bought a bankrupcy or something. Andre Jean Quintal
