Advertisement Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Hi nikonosguy, Take a look here santa brought me some cool leica gear. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
sc_rufctr Posted January 6, 2014 Share #2 Posted January 6, 2014 Nice. I used the the Leica R grip on my R6.2. It much better than no grip and it's well made. Although I like the motor drive option as well. I just wish film was cheaper so I could use it more. This from the "let's see your R" My 6.2 with an R-Grip. It compliments the thumb grip on the film door. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
algrove Posted January 6, 2014 Share #3 Posted January 6, 2014 Nikonosguy Congrats. I used to shoot a lot of underwater which my Nikonos. I see Sony sells a case for the a7R, but it costs nearly the camera price. Glad Santa remembered you. I truly love my APO 180/2.8's and cannot decide which one to sell. The STA-1 fits them very nicely as it does on the 100/2.8 and other R glass as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 7, 2014 Share #4 Posted January 7, 2014 The original Nikonos was designed by Jacques Cousteau for his own use and sold to Nikon who went on to develop it though several generations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc_rufctr Posted January 13, 2014 Share #7 Posted January 13, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Funny thing is... The more I use modern auto focus DSLRs the more I appreciate my R, M lenses and bodies. I really feel the R bodies are underrated. If properly maintained they just work and the controls are just so right. Although there seems to be lots of parts only bodies on eBay. What a shame. Anybody else feel this way?

k_g_wolf ✝ Posted January 14, 2014 Share #8 Posted January 14, 2014 Yes, a shame they didn´t bring them (R8/ R9) out 12 yrs earlier to raise enough "funds" for digital. The history of the LEICA Co. might have developed differently, perhaps ... Best GEORG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
