Have a chance to pick up a mint in box R-E complete as boxed. I thought I would also grab the 70-210 f4 to go along with it. The lens is also mint in the box. Now my question(s) is, how good is the R-E? Also how good is the 70-210 f4?
I have no experience with Leica's R system. I have my 3 Ms, M6-ttl 0.58, M7-0.58 and M7-0.72. I couple the M's with my 28 f2 asph, 35 f2 asph and my 75 f1.4. I'm thinking that an R-E and zoom would complement the M's by providing me the longer focal ranges.
Any thoughts or opinions? Thanks in advance. Holmes
