Thanks Daniel, Frank, Neal for your opinions.

I want to try the R3A in a shop, I see it as a complementary option and I
don't plan sell my MP, the M6....I don't know, but if I sell, it should be
for a M7.

Let me know please about the noise, it is so quite as the M's?

Saludos desde Barcelona
Luis

Luis,

I have both an M7 and a R3a, I've had the M7 for several years now and it
has become my primary 35mm. I
got it because I wanted the aperture priority auto feature. I had wanted a
backup AE body but didn't want
to spend the bucks for a second M7. When I heard about the R3a I ordered it
right away, several months
before they became available. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now
and am very pleased with it, yes
it is a bit louder than the M7, what isn't, but it is not as loud as the
earlier VC Bessas. The 1:1 view finder is
great. Since you state that this is going to be a secondary camera go for
the R3a I don't think that you'll be
disappointed. If you decide that you DO like the AE then you can get an M7,
sell the MP and M6 and use
the R3a as a back up.......I did!  ;-}
