jaapv Posted June 26, 2008 Share #2 Posted June 26, 2008 I would guess something in the order of 3000 DM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fernando_b Posted June 27, 2008 Share #4 Posted June 27, 2008 In 1988 Leica no more produced the R4, it was replaced in 1987 by the R5. Regarding the cost, I remember that in Milano (Italy) they selled the body only R4 in 1980 for about 2 million Liras (about 1000 Euros). Fernando.

dkCambridgeshire Posted June 29, 2008 Share #6 Posted June 29, 2008 I have a Jessops A2 size UK price list for 1987 ... the one with which Jessops provided a fresnel magnifier to read it ... The R4 MOT body only is listed at £850 , R4 S £520, R4 S Model 2 £680, R5 £972.85 ... M6 £1188.13 and M4-P £940. At that time I was 2 years away from buying my first Leica body .. a used Leicaflex SL which I bought from Jessops ... but before that I had a 100mm Macro Elmar bellows lens bought from Ffordes which I used on a Canon T90 with an adaptor made by SRB.

bobs Posted July 1, 2008 Share #7 Posted July 1, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Not a R4 but R5. In Melbourne, Australia in April 1990 the retail price for a R5 body only was Aus$ 4,130, A R5 with 50mm Summicron was Aus$4,990 and this was when the R5 had been superceeded by the R6 which was, body only Aus$4,950 or Aus$5,810 with 50mm Summicron. Hope this helps Bob Showers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps Bob Showers R5 was not superceded by R6 ... R5 was superceded by R7 ... R6 was a manual camera. Cheers dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
