Wanting a stronger machine than a FM2 and going to Leica R? I don't
think of Leica R as stronger. I could get into it for other reasons:
glass, design.
My FE2 has had thousand of rolls run through it and I'm hard on it. An
F2 would be stronger I think I don't know about Leica R; which one if
any. Not a strength issue where I stand.
Will be glad to see what Walt and others think.
