thebarnman Posted November 3, 2010 Share #261 Posted November 3, 2010 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) If you hit the rewind switch only once the film leader remains exposed [i guess it makes it easier to extract the film if you are 'self developing'] But, if you hit the rewind button a second time, it will wind the film fully into the cassette. It's been a while, however I'm sure there's been many times I have done that with my R9's winder. That, and I do know there are times I have manually wound it the rest of the way after the motor stops using the "rewind crank." Of all the film I put through my R9, there may have been one or two times I slightly (very lightly) touched the shutter blades...maybe once with film in front of it and other time possibly with the tip of my finger (I know, very bad!) Very scary since I do remember reading in the manual about that warning. I have never had film stuck in the blades however. I don't believe there is any damage at all with my R9.

storybrown Posted November 3, 2010 Share #262 Posted November 3, 2010 My R9 relaxing by SF Bay for lunch about a week ago. As seen by my iPhone kdemas's fine foto of his fine R9 . . . artem 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronto Posted November 6, 2010 Share #263 Posted November 6, 2010 It is beautiful. I've been thinking of getting one, or maybe an R8. Either way, I'd like a DMR, too -- one's on eBay now for $4K+ -- but they're a little out of reach. It'll probably be just an R9. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
storybrown Posted November 17, 2010 Share #264 Posted November 17, 2010 Why not go for the R8? It's just a little heavier. The Eastland R8 book is still available at a good price, too. (The R9 book is hard to get -- the R8 book is just about as good for the R9, anyway; not entirely, of course) . . . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgray Posted November 17, 2010 Share #265 Posted November 17, 2010 Looking to pick up an R and an 80/1.4 soon. Could anyone post a size comparison of either an R4-7 and the 80 OR an R8/9 and the 80 alongside an M with say a 50 for reference? I'm trying to decide between an R6.2 or and R8/9. I'm leaning towards the R6.2, but pricing and size might play a factor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joop van Heijgen Posted November 19, 2010 Share #267 Posted November 19, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) . Could anyone post a size comparison of either an R4-7 and the 80 OR an R8/9 and the 80 alongside an M with say a 50 for reference? . "I'm trying to decide between an R6.2 or and R8/9." Can anybody say why Leica ever choose for a much bigger R8/9 camera instead of the smaller size of the older R models (except R3)? Even the Leicaflex SL2 is a small camera compared with the R8/9.

tgray Posted November 19, 2010 Share #268 Posted November 19, 2010 True, but the R8 is a good deal cheaper, newer, and has some extra useful functions compared to the R6. If the R6 were cheaper, I'd be all over it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

storybrown Posted November 23, 2010 Share #271 Posted November 23, 2010 I don't know what CMOS means, but I think it's obvious that collecting R lenses at current prices for -- anything: original R bodies, inc 'Flex, SL & SLR bodies, or for digital Canon or Nikon &c&c bodies -- is the epitome of cleverness, as well as thrift. Rarely does any market afford such bargains. After everything R, the smartest buy in Leicas IMHO is surely the Digilux 2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Smith Posted November 25, 2010 Share #275 Posted November 25, 2010 Of the many R lenses I use, the 21-35 zoom is truly remarkable and, for their age the 400 and 560 f5.6 Telyts, but then all R lenses are amazing! storybrown 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyp Posted December 22, 2010 Share #279 Posted December 22, 2010 LCT I traded 2 SRT 101 bodies, 4 Rokkor lenses, and 50 bucks for it and the 50, back in '81. I've never regretted it. It's been CLA'd twice since then. It's a beautiful thing Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted December 23, 2010 Share #280 Posted December 23, 2010 Yes indeed. I liked much the SRT 101 as well. Close to Leica quality in my memories. virgilius 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
