Am I right in thinking that collecting Leica R cameras is a bit of a 'ghetto' in the Leica world.
Their size and general chunkiness has always appealed to me much more than those dainty little rangefinders. So if I can use my 3 cam lenses on a R8/9 and given the price they are at just now, perhaps I should think about one of those as well.
So can I ask another question; which is which is better as a start.
P.S. I bought the R6.2, when I saw the condition of the camera (the silver chrome softly glinting in the bonfire of the savings account) the un-marked box, user's guide etc., it was like new. I just could not resist it.
