Guest Randle P. McMurphy Posted May 11, 2011 Share #284 Posted May 11, 2011 Here's my R3 MOT & 50 Summicron, which I've owned from new. A very underrated Leica IMO. Seem´s like a Minolta for me (duck and cover)........ Just kidding - really the best "R" ever build for use is the R8 for me. Even I sold mine years ago getting hot for these dumb DSLR´s *Facepalm* Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Randle P. McMurphy Posted May 12, 2011 Share #286 Posted May 12, 2011 Minolta, eh? No kidding Dude - the R3 based on the Minolta XE-Series - just add some Spot-Metering and a Motor-Winder. But awsome Camera even if you own one in this silver-classic-look. Peace Randle Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted May 12, 2011 Share #287 Posted May 12, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Actually Leica made more significant changes to the Minolta chassis than that, such as a bespoke mirror box and shutter which IHMO is one of the nicest SLR shutter actions I've ever tried, superbly well damped and quiet!

Frank Black Posted January 25, 2012 Share #296 Posted January 25, 2012 Would like to ask a few questions Is there a optical quality diference between M and R system? Which is the R to buy? (excluding the 8, ) Thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted January 25, 2012 Share #297 Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) Yes there are optical differences. Let's say that R lenses are closer to pre-asph Ms at the exception of the last telephoto lenses. If you're looking after a 100% Leica, you should be happy with Leicaflex SL or SL2. Otherwise some Minolta based Rs are very good indeed. Mine is a mere R4s but the best MinoLeica R body is perhaps the R6.2. Matter of tastes though. Edit: The R9 is the best 'modern' Leica R but you're after a smaller body if i understand well. Edited January 25, 2012 by lct 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted January 25, 2012 Share #298 Posted January 25, 2012 ...If you're looking after a 100% Leica, you should be happy with Leicaflex SL or SL2... My English is worst and worst sorry. I meant if you're looking for a 100% Leica. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.gt Posted January 25, 2012 Share #299 Posted January 25, 2012 My English is worst and worst sorry. I meant if you're looking for a 100% Leica. Your English is fine.... I, too have a Leica R4. And it was very well done with collaboration with Minolta, not unlike the collaboration of the M8 and M9 with Japanese sensors. The R8 and the R9 had nothing to do with Minolta, so I would include them in that definition. No worries either way. All R body cameras and lenses are fantastic. Try a Leica R4-7 and then pick up a late edition of any Nikon film camera and you immediately see and feel the difference! It is stunning.

Try a Leica R4-7 and then pick up a late edition of any Nikon film camera and you immediately see and feel the difference! It is stunning. Really? I didn't think, there could be anything more substantial and indestructible, while feeling absolutely refined, as a Nikon F5. Don't get me as a "Yeah, but …" type, but the F5 really surprised me as a camera body (even after shooting the D3 on a regular basis). What's better about the R4-7 bodies?
