What are the thoughts and opinions of people in this group regarding the
Leicaflex SL and SL2?  Good cameras?  Great cameras?  If given the choice,
should I opt for a used R series camera (R3) or the Leicaflex (realizing
that automation is nice but not a necessity)?  How about lens compatibility?
I'm trying to find an affordable way into the Leica reflex system and am
torn between these two different options.

BTW, I'm 45 and own an early production M3 (as well as an old Canon F1 and a
Nikon F).
