gmydosh Posted September 27, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 27, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi All, I was wondering if the new S-body will support the R lens? Will Leica come out with a digital body that will support all the R body lens? Thanks Greg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooky Posted September 27, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 27, 2009 No, the S2 will not support/allow the use of R lenses. Leica (Stephan Daniel/M9 interview, the 76 minute one) hinted at camera(s) they are working on but nothing definitive except to say that it would not be a DSLR. It's going to be a while so either be patient, or buy a C or N and use the R lenses with adapters on them. Or, as many of us still do - shoot film and scan and have the best of both. There have been many threads previous that have gone over ideas, speculations, etc on this very topic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or buy a used DMR with an R8 or R9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayham Posted September 28, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 28, 2009 How much does a used DMR alone cost now, and where can I buy it?, since I already have R9 body. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilfredo Posted September 28, 2009 Share #5 Posted September 28, 2009 You might consider getting a Canon 5D Mark II and using R lenses on it with an adapter. It is a fantastic tool. I'm haiving great fun with it. Here's something with a 90mm Elmarit R. Leica decided not to continue the R line cameras, but life goes on. http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/other/99813-under-boardwalk.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildlightphoto Posted September 29, 2009 Share #6 Posted September 29, 2009 How much does a used DMR alone cost now, and where can I buy it?, since I already have R9 body. I have not seen a DMR alone recently. I have seen the DMR with R8 or R9 at stores for US$5000 and selling quickly. I recently bought a DMR from a private party with a damaged R8 (shutter blades messed up) for US$3000. I then fixed the shutter using a partly-straightened paper clip and a thumb.

rsolomon Posted October 3, 2009 Share #8 Posted October 3, 2009 i think if you look on ebay you'll see a few Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvaliquette Posted October 13, 2009 Share #9 Posted October 13, 2009 i think if you look on ebay you'll see a few I have not seen any recently. As I already own one, bought new when they came out, I am happy and will keep on using it. Actually, my solution to the "R10 problem" might just be an M9 for 50mm and shorter lenses and the R9 and DMR for longer lenses! Guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
