I've had an R4 since 1984, and it's accompanied me all over the earth, flawlessly taking in excess of 800 rolls of Kodachrome with the MotorDrive-R and handgrip in all kinds of climates including 120F desert heat. Even though I recently purchased an R9+DMR to "go digital", I'll still be keeping and using the R4. The only failure in 22 years has been the foam seals on the camera back finally drying out. I'm about to send it to Leica USA to get the seals replaced and perform a CLA.
