Anyone has experiences with this camera?
I want a film camera for my leica-R lenses, too. The R3 seems the most affordable amongst the 3cams types. _________________ Orio, Administrator T* NE CEDE MALIS AUDENTIOR ITO
I've looked at the R3 myself in the past and found the usual mixed responses with those saying it was great and those saying otherwise. I didn't pursue it as I felt I already had enough different mounts as it is.
Thanks Bob
I have learned that R4 is the camera to avoid.
From R5 on, they are too expensive.
I guess I will go for a R3. Full manual does not scare me, I used Nikon FM2 for many years. _________________ Orio, Administrator T* NE CEDE MALIS AUDENTIOR ITO
If you are not in a hurry, you should come and visit us in fall 2008 at the time of the Solms camera show. You will surely find an excellent and still fair priced R3 there. _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!
Was it the R4 that was a re-badged Minolta? It seems like it would be fine for occasional use (not a primary camera). That model does go pretty inexpensive. _________________ Moderator
