In my opinion, Both are fine camera but R6.2 is better regarding build quality. I feel mechanical precision on R6.2 Both view finder is big enough for manual focus but RTSII is better regarding this. However, RTSII lacks spot meter. R6.2 has very good spot meter(R7 must be same). Speaking of R7, you will get a half step shutter speed selection. And please remember RTSII lacks manufacture support from Kyocera. I own R80/1.4 and I have used P85/1.4 for short period. I like R80 for overall image quality, however, R80 costs much more. I have never used R180/2.8. I recommend you to get R180 F3.4Apo. This is a good lens. Hope this help you, Hiro LeicaR page; http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~eg3y-ssk/photo/leica/eng.htm CONTAX page; http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~eg3y-ssk/photo/tstar/eng.htm - -------------------------------------------------------- > I have an opportunity to keep either an R7 or a Contax RTSII to compliment > my M's.
