cameraquest free shipping?

Why the R2a and not the R3a Stephen? I am pretty sure I am going to order the R3a to be better able to focus longer lenses with the intention of using my R2 with wides, the 21/4 in particular. The image area is so large with this lens that I would not trust the meter and AE system to expose correctly. Any significant light source in the frame greatly effects the metering.

There's a price to be paid for the 1:1 R3a viewfinder, as Gandy says the 40mm frame is not all visible to eyeglasses wearers. By contrast, the R2a's 35mm frame IS visible to eyeglasses wearers. From my experience, I would not count on the usability of a camera's entire viewfinder for framing a wider lens. If even the whole area may approximate the lens's field of view, there's no parallax correction to help at closer distances.

I agree fully with Stephen and Peter on the battery issue and AE. On excursions I also carry a hand-held incident meter that runs on a battery. :-0

You have trouble receiving things in Taipei from overseas? I don't seem to have trouble sending photographic items to Taipei.

No, not trouble. Just a pain. Time + additional cost. Take the additional cost out of it and...

I think I'm gonna be buying a lens from him this week 😀
