The Leicaflex SL is a good choice, BUT WATCH OUT FOR SIGNS OF DECEMENTING
OF THE PENTAPRISM.  I would stay clear from the 50mm f2 Summicron-R 2cam
model ( it takes Series VI filters).  It's sharp and contrasty but suffers
from high levels of flare in backlight situations.  Instead, look for the
newer 3cam model with built in lens hood.
About $750 for a set in Ex++ to Mint- condition.
