It seems that the idea for a thread on Leica R film images does not have the same appeal as a separate thread for Leica M film images.....or any special appeal for that matter (beyond myself). Did I misjudge the ardor of Leica R users? :shocked:
If so, then Leica SLRs/Leica glass will continue to be lumped in with the fine SLRs offered by Canon, Minolta, Nikon, Olympus and Pentax (no question that there are many excellent cameras/lenses in this group and I have owned a few of them)....hence the catchall thread "More and more film fun with something other than Leica M".
I guess it's not surprising that Leica dropped the R series....not enough here to set it apart from the crowd?
If Leica rangefinders are all THAT special....I might have to give them another look.
Well, here's one more (final?) image for this thread.
The subject of this image was nothing out of the ordinary, but I do enjoy using my Leica SLR (R8 with motordrive) and look forward to using it for many years to come....with perhaps a few more interesting subjects in the future.
Long live the R series.....in death, as in life......under appreciated?
