LUF Admin Posted August 31, 2012 Share #1 Â Posted August 31, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Over the last time we didn't have many threads about "Leica R" thus I didn't plan to create a new R section. In the last days several Leica R photographers complained and tried to convince me.In order to decide this question I've set up this poll:If you want to be active in a Leica R Forum, please vote here.If until photokina (September 18th) 50 active contributors show up, I'll create a dedicated Leica R Forum - OK?Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Hi LUF Admin, Take a look here Poll: Leica R Forum?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
dave.gt Posted August 31, 2012 Share #2 Â Posted August 31, 2012 Thank you, Andreas! You're the best! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted August 31, 2012 Share #3 Â Posted August 31, 2012 I voted yes in the German forum and this one -as I would participate in both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdai Posted August 31, 2012 Share #4 Â Posted August 31, 2012 I suspect that many folks never even bothered to visit the "About the forum" forum ... so I'm not sure about the visibility of this poll. Â If Leica announces the R solution on Sep. 17 as expected there might be way more than 50 votes out of nowhere all in a sudden. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB007 Posted August 31, 2012 Share #5 Â Posted August 31, 2012 I voted yes. I am new in the forum not sure what is active member so I voted read only. It would be great to have a R forum. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmradman Posted August 31, 2012 Share #6 Â Posted August 31, 2012 Voted yes, thank you. Â In my count almost every forth lens produced by Leica was R lens so it deserves some attention here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Geschlecht Posted September 1, 2012 Share #7 Â Posted September 1, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello Andreas, Â Yes, Â Also: Â Might I suggest the Section be called: Â Leicaflex/Leica - R Â 1 or the other having been engraved on lenses made w/ different mounts for different sub-systems. Â Just a thought. Â btw: Criteria for participation: Â Bodies ? Â Lenses? Â Accessories? Â Best Regards, Â Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirat Posted September 1, 2012 Share #8 Â Posted September 1, 2012 Glad to have R forum. I am still using R cameras frequently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzo Posted September 1, 2012 Share #9 Â Posted September 1, 2012 I see that there are members who really wish this R section. .. Â That for me, is good enough reason to vote yes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted September 1, 2012 Share #10 Â Posted September 1, 2012 My nephew just bought a Sony NEX-7 with 35 and 50 Summicron-R's (and was luckily given an imaculate Leicaflex with the lenses). Â He plans to expand his R lens collection over time. Â A Leica-R forum would be a great resource. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gidion27 Posted September 1, 2012 Share #12 Â Posted September 1, 2012 Funny enough I really miss a leica R section since I prefer Slr's over rangefinders. Â The R range seems to be whipped of the map after leica discontinued itwhich is a really shame. Glad to see there is still some love Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.gt Posted September 1, 2012 Share #13 Â Posted September 1, 2012 Loving my R4 and 50 Cron. I really would like a couple of longer lenses to go with an R8 and R9!!!! So let's get this done!!!

garysamson Posted September 1, 2012 Share #14 Â Posted September 1, 2012 Yes, definitely let's get this forum started! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.gt Posted September 1, 2012 Share #15 Â Posted September 1, 2012 One of the by-products of the relative obscurity of R cameras has been the availability of really nice cameras for pocket change! I use my R4 professionally and only paid $200 a couple of years ago for a mint example from an estate sale. Â They are so cheap (and lenses much cheaper than M lenses) that I can buy multiple bodies, not as a collector, but as user who happens to have multiple backup cameras! Great cameras for less than a CLA for an M digital! Â In anticipation of shooting a thousand rolls of film over the next few years on documentaries, I have an appointment in Serenbe at the darkroom to begin developing my own 35mm and 120mm film! Â Now to find a scanner for 26mb files... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted September 1, 2012 Share #16 Â Posted September 1, 2012 Any scanner will give you 26MB files. My Nikon V produces 125MB colour tiff files Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamey Posted September 1, 2012 Share #17  Posted September 1, 2012 Please Andreas, Yes, Yes, Yes.  I love the Reflex system, been using it since 1973.  Thank you  Ken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobey bilek Posted September 1, 2012 Share #19 Â Posted September 1, 2012 If there is a digital solution that is practical, a R forum would be nice. Â My two Leica PC lenses, 35 & 28 , now have nikon mounts. 10 others are sleeping awaiting a new calling. Â I did not vote and am awaiting Photokina. Putting $100,000 + into an S system is a waste for me. Nice to have, but I would be nervous to walk down the street with even one camera and lens, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taskoni Posted September 2, 2012 Share #20  Posted September 2, 2012 I will be happy to gain some R - experience from the other R us. I voted for the R forum.  P.S. Thank you Dave  Regards,  Boris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
