Succisa75 Posted November 25, 2022 Share #1 Posted November 25, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Recently acquired an R9 with the 50 cron and 100 f2.8 macro and absolutely loving it. My rear cover door is good but sometimes it makes a creaking sound when film is inside. Also I realised that metal flap door that covers the ISO and timer tends to be a scratch magnet haha. Was wondering by chance if there is somewhere that sells some extra parts in case I want to replace the rear door etc? Thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 Hi Succisa75, Take a look here Just picked up an R9 and wanted to ask about extra parts. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jrh68uk Posted November 27, 2022 Share #2 Posted November 27, 2022 The rear door on mine creaks a little too, when pressed. Not an issue in use. I don't think there will be much luck finding a spare part supplier; any spares will likely need to come from a donor body. I'd like a battery cover for my R8, which came (to me) with a winder attached and no standard battery grip, so am keeping an eye out occasionally for a parts broken body.

davidmknoble Posted December 3, 2022 Share #3 Posted December 3, 2022 @Succisa75 quite honestly, I keep an eye out for reasonably priced R9, R8 bodies and have a few. Eventually, when one quits working, it will be the spare parts for the others… Just a thought. Parts are hard to find. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkCambridgeshire Posted December 3, 2022 Share #4 Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) For Leica R parts try Don Goldberg in USA https://www.dagcamera.com/store/c19/Leicaflex_%26_R.html. ... Don prefers SHORT emails for parts enquiries https://www.dagcamera.com/faqs.html... shipping costs are very reasonable Edited December 3, 2022 by dkCambridgeshire 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes mine does a bit as well, only when there is film. Doesn’t bother me much either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
