Subject: R Lenses?

LUGs,

I was informed a couple of days ago that R lenses are not selling very well.
If so, what is the reason for this phenomenon. Certainly, the R lenses are
very good optically. Leica/Leitz put a lot of effort into their development. 

I was also told by the same person, a salesman at a Leica dealer, that 3-cam
lenses do not work as well in SL/SL2 cameras. He has a lot of two-cam
lenses. Perhaps, the two-cam lenses are not moving very fast either.

Personally, I like the older lenses. They seem to have fewer plastic parts.
