can anyone help me understand the difference between all the different lenses for the R series? i am looking at a s/h R4 with a "Summicron" lense.Anyone know what a good price is?

Hi

I don't know a huge amount about them myself, but these links might help:

excellent Mike,thanks a lot

I know a bit about OM systems but not Leica,but ive always wanted one and the R seem the cheapest

You're welcome Dave. I've always fancied one too. Please let me know how you get on. I'd be interested to know your feelings about the camera.

Cheers

will do mate

I'm not expecting a revelation tbh.I use an Olympus OM4,a camera that ive had for ages and quite frankly its hard to beat for what i use it for.I only shoot film on it,and the metering i'm sure will be better than the R4.I will of course throw some trannies in and get a full verdict.

Excellent!
