I have been using R cameras since 1976. Two R3's, three R4sP's, one R6, and
three R7's. All used heavily, tens of thousands of rolls of film. All with
motor winders. Not a single failure. Ever.

Hi Sam,

Does it take more than a kick in the head to realise that some cameras
models are just not realiable.
