Leica R3 lens compatibility

[TheFlyingCamera]

Which Leica R-series lenses are compatible with the R3? Will it take 2-cam, 3-cam, both, neither?

R3 is good with the 3-cam, and ROM. The R3 can use 2-cam but with stop-down metering.

that's right, the two cam lenses will work, but not in "auto" mode and you need to stop down to meter. Other than that, ur good to go. Meters are for wooses anyway.
