I'd like to solicit your opinions on buying an R6.2 or other mechanical SLR
Leica,
versus the R8.  Over the last few months, I've read some amusing and disturbing

stories of malfunctions on R8's.  The R6.2 and R8 appear to have the same list
price.  I am not looking for highly automated functions - only a simple meter
will do.  But I am looking for exceptional reliability.

Can someone also tell me the important differences between the R7 and R6.2?

Thanks

Vick
