Miha,
In the late 1980 and 1990, I has an R4 and and R4S and both advanced its
film with silky smoothness and little effort. That's all I can tell you.
When I moved to an R7, nothing seemed to change.

Thanks Bill,
I would say my Leicaflex SL has silky smooth advance and that my R3 comes
close second.

Thanks Richard,
My R4s/2 looks like knew so it's highly plausible that it sat idle for
years, still the advance is smooth with no film loaded and becomes heavy
with film. I simply feels cheap for a 'professional' camera.
