Subject: [Leica] R series entry level.

I was thinking about giving the R series a try, but I'm not sure which
model to choose as an experiment.

I don't want to spend too much money (I suspect I won't like the fixed
prism), so a new body is out of the question.

I was wondering about the R4S. What do people recommend as a 'way in'?

*IF* I like it, I think I'd be heading off towards a pair of R6.2 or R8
bodies. If this is the final destination, how many cams should my lenses
have? What's the difference between the R6 and the R6.2 and what do R6
bodies sell for s/h?
