[Leica] Less you scoff at R lenses compared to 21st Century M lenses.........

[Douglas Sharp]

At least two, the superb Vario-Elmar-R 80-200 mm f/4.0 
and the Vario-Elmar-R 35-70 mm f/4.0, were also made by 
Kyocera (Yashica), a manufacturer that also made some 
really outstanding lenses for Contax/Yashica SLR 
cameras (particularly the Yashica 21 mm f/3.5 WA and  
55 mm f/2.8 Macro lenses)
