Even though I lusted for and used a Leicaflex SL just when the R3 came  
out (I then had an R3MOT) I have never had a Leicaflex of my own and  
probably never will - In the meantime my current R9diesel works fine  
enough for my limited talents :-)

And still, David's photo is one I wish I had ... whatever the gear :-)
