The R3 is a fine camear. It has selective metering with memory, aperture preferred, and the selector for spot and averaging is independent, so you could use averaging with manual, not possible with subsequent R cameras. It's a bit bigger. It has to have a MOT in the name if it takes the 2 fps winder. No motor drive (faster). Very smooth shutter release, very quiet camera. Meter power switch on the back top right panel. I liked the one I had. Mint are hard to find nowadays, I'm sure. I'd say I'd pay up to $300 for one Mint if I wanted one today. >What should one look for? Which lenses will the R3 take? > >I suppose more than one inquiring mind would like to know.
