David,
The R7 is a very nice camera with a lot more exposure options than
you'll probably ever need, the R5 has about the same but no fill-in
flash option or mirror lock-up. If you can find one, an R-E is a good
body that's not overloaded with functions - sort of a lean R5. They are
all more or less the same size (I think the R7 is 2mm or so higher) and
all have the same controls you are used to from the R6.2. If you are
thinking of using a winder or drive, the R5 takes its power from the
winder/drive when it's mounted, the R7 doesn't.
Cheers
Douglas

The 60 is a pretty amazing lens at macro and infinity. You won't go
wrong there. The older 28 is not that great a lens compared to the
60, although it is pretty cheap. Another option could be the 21-35
zoom. This is a pretty good lens, IMO "better" that either the old
28 and the older 21 and about as good as the 35 summicron. If you can
live with the slow speed, it's something to consider. My
favorite two lens combo for my DMR are the 21-35 and the 60.

Hey, I have to rationalize this somehow! I am selling all my Nikon
digital photo gear so that I can add to my Leica collection. I had an
epiphany while shooting on the California coast last weekend that I
am happiest with a nice film camera (like my 6.2) and 2-3 lenses at
most. My intention is to get a 28 f/2.8 and a 60 f/2.8 macro plus one
more body for my R system; either another 6.2 or an R7. Any thoughts
or advice?
