The R4S Mod.2 (Mod.P in USA) is well worth considering ... it is less complicated than other R series as has no program mode ... and is available at reasonable price (recently saw one for sale at less than £250 at well known dealer) .. and they only made c. 7000 of them ... so might have sme scarcity value and investment potential ... although scarce they do turn up regularly ... it superceded the R4S which is very similar i.e. no program mode ... the R6.2 is quite expensive and can cost more than a s/h R8. I have been using an R4SMod2 for almost 20 years and it has been very reliable. The Leica Pocket Book 7th Edition is well worth checking out for specifications of all Leica R and M and Screw bodies and lenses up to the R9 and M7.
