Paepke Fototechnik in Düsseldorf/Germany
still repairs Leica R.
The Leica R5 is my favorite: just enough automation, still compact and solid, affordable, and dependable (so far). I have Minolta SLRs from that era, and I can definitely tell you that the Leica R5 is of a different class in terms of quality and finish. I pair my R5 with Elmarit-R 60/2.8 macro lens, and pretend that I were SEBASTIAO SALGADO making masterpieces.
...
The 135/2.8 is one of the most affordable Leica R lenses, and renders beautifully wide open for portraits. The 60/2.8 is still reasonable, and versatile for my carry-everywhere needs.
Question for Leica R users, from your experience, what R body is the most reliable now, after 40+ years? How even older Leicaflexes are holding?
Is it possible to use "newer" 3 cam lenses on older Leicaflexes?
Also looking for some Leica R dedicated website or forums recommendations.
