The Leica
R4-S is derived from the R4 and is intended for those
photographers who do not require the comprehensive metering modes of the R 4.
It
has aperture priority and manual modes only (P and T modes deleted) but it
remains both intgrated and spot metering.
All other R4 facilities are provided,
One deficiency of the R4s, which was corrected with the R4s Model 2 (also called
R4sP in North America), is that in manual mode the shutter speed
set by the user is not visible in the viewfinder.
Initial production in black only . Catalogue number 10045
Production period 1983 - 1985.
Total production 19000.
