[LRflex] tempted by R8 + lenses ...

A couple of days ago someone sold an R8, Vario Elmar 80-200/4 and  
28-70/3.5-4.5 for EUR 1000.

There's a similar offer, but including a Summicron 50/2 now ...

This seems incredibly good value to me but

a) I already have an R7 and SL2, neither of which I use much since I  
prefer my Contax RTS II + Planar 85/1.4 and I'm using an M3 and M7  
for the Leica kick anyway,

b) it's an early R8 (SN 241xxxx) so I don't know if this would work  
with a DMR or if it would have reliability problems...

c) I've already used up this month's playing money on an M lens

d) I wish zoom lenses were f/2 and not f/4.5

Arrrgh. Seems such a pity to let it go though.
