[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I still have R gear, but it is loved, if not often enough. Do use two lenses a lot: 35-70/4 and 100/2.8 APO Macro. I think if I found a 19 new version I would use that too, but they are a bit out of my comfort range on price.

Perhaps, foolishly, I may be the last person shooting with an R Kit (Hell, I am flipping a coin between OM-3/4Ti 16-600 Zuikos and R-6s (Tamron 17/24/28 else Leica to 560) for international travel with GASP film? I actually use the stuff so good glass and mechanics are important but if it is a bit beat, what the heck? Love to find 19 old version fine 21/24/28 any 350 Old kits with a brace of lenses? Doubt the fast lenses are cheap... R3 R5 (In 1994 I sht in Tanzana with Extachrome 64-400 and R-E R-5 and R-6s superb) Leicaflex (shockingly never owned one) beat up SL SL2 R6 R6.2 (doubt there are beat up R6.2?s but) R8/9 with cheap but working DMR (yeah flies in the face of above but?) And all the Leica odd bits Particularly the adapter so I can use my R Mount Teylt 400/560 on a Viso II/IIa/III Thanks Mark in Oregon
