I have Leicaflex SL and an R8. Both are wonderful in different ways and 
complement each other very well. Usually the SL is loaded with Agfapan 
25 and the R8 with Kodachrome 25.

I had mainly Pentax lenses but also a couple of Tokina ones, like the 
17mm and a 24-40mm zoom. Tokina was very well regarded and I do not 
think that their lenses were in any way inferior to the Pentax glass.
