Leica Mayfair website now lists several pages of Leitz Park and other Leica stores', s/h 'R' lenses including scarce / rare / in demand items.... e.g., several examples of R 19mm Mk II plus the scarce R 28/2.8 Mk II, an R Telyt S 800/6.3, several €reasonable R 50/1.4, plus the excellent but very €reasonable R 100/4 Macro and €reasonable early R zoom lenses . Well worth a browse.
