Subject: [Leica] R5 Query

Hello Luggers,

I'm doing some research on a Leica R5 since me and a friend is interested
in getting into the Leica R series without having to spend so much cash
(thereby used R body and some old Leica R lenses.) 
I'd like to know what features this camera have: program modes, shutter
speeds, mirror lock-up, etc. etc. and how different is this from an R7?
How is the reliability of this camera & Is $800 a good "used" price for
this camera ?

Many thanks,

Ferdinand

Would anyone also know if the older 28/2.8 elmarit, 60/2.8 macro lens,
90/2.0 Summicron, and 135/2.8  is the same optical performance as the
latest one since this would probably be our priority lens.
