Thanks all for your advice
The deal was done on Saturday, Alice settled for the E400 double kit at
a good price, and is pleased with it all (her first reflex camera since
her still usable Praktica bought in the 80s BTW).
We haven't tried all the features yet, notably R lenses with adaptor -
that will be next weekend for sure.
Thanks again.

Peter, looks real good like this too :-)
I compared the size and look with the R4 - same category - but not the
same weight whatsoever. ;-)
