I'm the newbie that bought a Leicaflex Standard with f2/50mm Summicron-R a few weeks ago at a local auction. I shot a roll of Ektachrome and the slides look pretty good. The lens is OK but the camera's light meter is broken. At the suggestion of other luggers I looked into the SL, bought a black one in reasonable shape and am now looking around for/at other lenses. So, here goes with another new guy question? What is an R3? And... Is there a macro lens that won't deplete my wallet that'll fit the SL? I'm used to paying $500 +/- for Nikon and Pentax macro glass, what would I expect to pay for a 100mm Leica macro. Am I looking at Rollei 6008 lens prices?
