holmes Posted March 16, 2011 Share #1 Posted March 16, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Since I still enjoying shooting film my R6.2's are my hands down favorites. OK add to that my R 7. By most standards the R 6.2 is far and above any other 'Rs'. I also have three 'Ms'. 2 in 0.58 viewfinder and one at the 0.72 standard. The R 6.2s are solid as are the lenses. Sure I shoot some digital with Canon and a pretty broad spectrum of lenses. Feel the heft of their 200 f 1.8 l USM. But I pay the price. Two straps, one for the body and one for the lens. My Rs and Ms I can carry all day. For my Rs I have the 250 f 4 (late). Piece of cake. Granted I give up an 'f' stop or two, but the Leica's are much more fun to shoot and carry. Digital OK, but my first love are my Leica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joachim123 Posted March 16, 2011 Share #2 Posted March 16, 2011 Feel the same way about my R4 it has never let me down. I have tried a digital camera once and it just didnt excite me at all. The R6.2 is an excellent camera!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincoln_m Posted March 24, 2011 Share #3 Posted March 24, 2011 Hi, What no pics! We can't have an "I love my ..." thread without any pics of said object of desire, surely that isn't allowed. Which is best M6.2 all mechanical (like M6) or R7 electronic shutter (like M7). Which weights less? The R8(heavy) and R9(still bulky) are just beasts when compared to R6/7 or Ms, so they never really appealed to me as a camera to travel about with. Perhaps an R6.2 next to M6 for comparison pic? Yours, Lincoln Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Reinert Posted March 27, 2011 Share #4 Posted March 27, 2011 Love both of my R6.2, one just went in for repairs, so I got a R6. Wouldn't dream of using anything else!

ktmrider2 Posted May 30, 2011 Share #5 Posted May 30, 2011 I got a R6.2 a couple months ago to go with my M's. It is the correct size and gives me all the features I want in a camera. I currently us a Leica M, Nikon F, Hasselblad 501CM. The R6.2 even has one of those new fangled light meters built in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartn Posted May 30, 2011 Share #6 Posted May 30, 2011 Let's say that your were an amatuer photographer and you had a R4 that you liked. You also had two lenses a 50 mm f2 three can summicron and a 60 mm f2.8 Elmarit 3 cam Macro, and you had to get rid of one of the lenes, which one would you keep?

aesop Posted June 2, 2011 Share #7 Posted June 2, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) ...possibly the only R I would consider, if I were to go that way. Super no-nonsense camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo Park Posted June 3, 2011 Share #8 Posted June 3, 2011 Yep, I like using the R6.2 and R7 also and Ms, of course. For Lincoln - here is a photo of R6.2 and M6 (TTL version though).
