[LRflex] Re: New Member/ S/H R-bodies

You right Douglas, it does ! and so does the cocking lever - neither the 
R3 nor the R4 are convenient in that respect - I never understood why 
the shutter dial was on the right hand side - when you have an automatic 
camera it should be located on the left hand side and the correction (-+ 
) dial be easily accessed to by the right thumb and index while having 
the camera up to your nose - that is the reason why sometimes miss my 
contax139 ...
Back to the thread - congratulations on your joining the list - you have 
gathered a nice series of valuable Leica pieces, the ones many here and 
there have been and are still dreaming of ...

Let us know when you have posted some scans.
Yours
