the warrior Posted August 7, 2008 Share #1 Posted August 7, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) I need information about Leica R5, building materials, aluminum, brass, iron or if it is made with plastic in some parts. Reliability mechanics. Spare parts The measurement system is not something that Leica gets well in the range r but that I do not mind too that external use photometer. There is some trick in the measurement? What can I say it? Thank you greetings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jimmy pro Posted August 7, 2008 Share #2 Posted August 7, 2008 I need information about Leica R5, building materials, aluminum, brass, iron or if it is made with plastic in some parts. Some parts are plastic inside and out. It must be really tuff plastic because you don't hear a lot about stuff breaking apart. Hell they use plastic in the space shuttle...there's plastic and then there's plastic. I know it's also got plenty of metal...prolly aluminum, maybe a brass piece here and there. Prolly not iron tho...iron's heavy, and it rusts. Reliability mechanics. Truthfully the best guy's to ask are the guy's who repair them. Everyone else can only speak for one or two that they owned. Spare parts Again, best to ask the repair guy's if you want more then a guess (even if it's stated as if it's a fact). The measurement system is not something that Leica gets well in the range r but that I do not mind too that external use photometer. IIRC they had general averageing, center-weighed, and spot metering. You can't do better then a spotmeter...assuming you know how to use it right. Everything else including all the fancy shmancy matrix meterings is an attempt to take the place of knowlege and it can only go so far. There is some trick in the measurement? Not unless you call using your noggin a trick. You justhafta know what the meter is doing, and how to interpet it. There are books that can help with that, but you hafta be willing to particapate in the exposure process, not just looking for a camera to do it for you. What can I say it? Huh?

Photoskeptic Posted August 7, 2008 Share #3 Posted August 7, 2008 Mine seemed to be pretty solid. Watch out for gummy light seals. They are easy to replace . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
