If you want full mechanical operation the SL is hard to beat. It is the M3
of Leica reflex. If you want a true "R" then get an R3. They are reliable
and inexpensive.

An R camera works best with 3 cam, 3rd cam (sometimes called R cam) and ROM
lenses. The SL is designed for 2 cam but still gives full function with 3
cam (not R cam) but does not work with ROM lenses.
