Should you have any questions regarding Leica reflex cameras (I've
had many), this is surely the right place to ask and share. Many
Connoisseurs here to help.

Hello,
I have been looking at your pictures w/comments for a couple of
weeks on this forum. This may be the wrong place to ask, but I
just purchased a used Leica R8 and a Leica-R 35mm F2.0 lens
(1982 vintage). I bought both on ebay. I had purchased a Leica
R4 but a camera repair store in The Netherlands told me the body
was a complete wreck.
Pity, I had one for you ...
So I bid on the R8 which I just purchased yesterday and have yet
to receive via mail. Question: can I just attach the lens to
the R8, focus, and set aperature/speed based upon light meter
readout in viewfinder and shoot?
Yes you can. ;-)
I do that with mine.
Wonderful to have a newby on board, welcome Kevin.
Bien cordialement from old Europe

I have used a Leica Digilux 2 for three years and I enjoy the
camera immensely, but I want to do black and white and I don't
like the shutter delay. Also shooting Hasselblad 500CM, but
just learning that as well. Decided I wanted a 35mm for
flexibility.
Cheers,
Kevin
