[LRflex] Re: R3

I have an R3 that I have had for 5 years and it always works and the battery is 
very easy to find (same as on the M7). It has been a workhouse and fits all the 
three cam R lens. The viewfinder is not as bright as the Leicaflex SLs and it 
is heavier than the later Rs but is a tough camera.  I enjoy using it as it has 
a nice feel. Do check the area around the film window on the back as there is 
sometimes a light leak there. It is easy to fix with a little foam insert but 
other than that I have had no problems. I paid around $300 US back then. So the 
price sounds right. Sincerely, George in Korea

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?
Reg,
My two R3 bodies have been with me for nearly 25 years and still work 
s if new. Both have been serviced in that time, of course. I have no 
lans ever to part with them.
I love my SL and SL2, too.
Go for that R3,
Noel
