They are substantly cheaper, feature the better finder displays and give xou auto exposure just in the case you would not be in the mood for manual setting. And the R6.2 needs batteries too - because what is a slide film woth, if you do not have an accurate exposure meter :-) IMHO it is the lenses what makes the Leica R System so special. The cameras are more or less just average. If I had no doubts about the durability of 70's electronic circuits I would not hesitate to suggest a good, clean R3. It is a good camera and it features almost everything you need to operate a Leica lens successfully (only TTL flash is really missing). But these babies are more than 20 years old by now, which is quite a time for an early electronic apparatus. Frank
