I still have R gear, but it is loved, if not often enough.  Do use two 
lenses a lot:  35-70/4 and 100/2.8 APO Macro.  I think if I found a 19 new 
version I would use that too, but they are a bit out of my comfort range on 
price.

Perhaps, foolishly, I may be the last person shooting with an R Kit (Hell, I 
am flipping a coin between OM-3/4Ti 16-600 Zuikos and R-6s (Tamron 17/24/28 
else Leica to 560) for international travel with GASP film…

I actually use the stuff so good glass and mechanics are important but if it 
is a bit beat, what the heck…

Love to find 19 old version fine
21/24/28 any  350

Old kits with a brace of lenses?

Doubt the fast lenses are cheap...

R3
R5 (In 1994 I sht in Tanzana with Extachrome 64-400 and R-E R-5 and R-6s 
superb)

Leicaflex  (shockingly never owned one)

beat up SL SL2 R6 R6.2 (doubt there are beat up R6.2’s but)

R8/9 with cheap but working DMR (yeah flies in the face of above but…)

And all the Leica odd bits

Particularly the adapter so I can use my R Mount Teylt 400/560 on a Viso 
II/IIa/III

Thanks
