Thanks Etienne, that was fast! The Drive does beep on the two dots position, thanks for the tip. Do you happen to know if, and how, it rewinds ? I first thought this bottom plate lever was the one to move to do the trick. Is it automatic? I wouldn't like to ruin my R4 though misappropriate manipulations. You're right about the R3 - it is much simpler. But the R3 has an on-off lever, which to my mind is more convenient. Do you have to remove the battery pack every time you're not using the camera? Doesn't sound very Leica, does it? Or is there a trick or a hidden switch? I just shot my first picture with it, seems to be in working order. Thanks again Amitiés entre voisins Phileicangenieux. ------ Unsubscribe or change to/from Digest Mode at: http://www3.telus.net/~telyt/lrflex.htm Archives are at: //www.freelists.org/archives/leicareflex/
