Hi Reg,
Good decision, I think...... (although I find the F3 the best Nikon ever -and
the F2 ofcoarse)
I've bought a R3 a few months ago for 50 euro. At the Leica dealer, so no cheap
internetsite or whatever.
We discussed the R3 before in this group; the R3 can give some trouble with the
lightmeter. The electric circuit is often damaged. Check this. Mine isn't
working in Auto mode, but the meter works.
Beware of shocks, or the circuit will/can stop function properly. Not
repairable.
For the rest, very nice camera!
best herman

Hello Herman,
I am a new member of the forum and await my first Leica Reflex from
eBay, an R8 with 50/f2 summicron.
Your comment about the Zeiss 50 1.4 is interesting as I was debating not
buying the R8 and going the Zeiss route
with my Nikon F3, but have always wanted a Leica R and at last have
taken the plunge. There's an R3 just around the corner
from me for only AU$400 in nice condition, anyone got any experience of
this lovely looking camera?
Thank you all for the fabulous content, had a long look at Doug Herr's
web site with awe struck fascination, superb.
Anyway, that's all for now - got to do another real estate web site.
Kind regards
REG
