>>4423241i find the r2 to feel solid. i did have an issue last fall where the shutter button was unresponsive but the problem went away by the start of this year. i'm glad because there isn't anyone i could find in the usa who services voigtlander rangefinders except perhaps KEH... idk about the canon and nikon rangefinders, but i take the bessas over the cle and contaxes with regards to longevity. maybe look into hexars? if there was a clean, simple solution, it would be known already. if you want to shoot a rangefinder, reliability and ease of repair is just one of the things you compromise on compared to a good slr
