Yes, most lenses can have the 3rd cam added.  I haven't had it done, but
have been told it's about $100 to do.

As far as aftermarket lenses, the beauty of using a Leica R camera is the
lenses.  You might as well shoot a better (and cheaper!) camera if you
aren't going to put Leica lenses on it.

I got my 35 f2 Summicron for $325 and my 90 f2 Summicron for $410 by looking
really hard at GreedBay and being patient.  If you see a non-3 cam lens
somewhere, add that $100 to convert it and see if it's a good deal then.
Often it's not, because the older 1 and 2 cam lenses are sought after by
Leicaflex and SL/SL2 guys, which keeps the price up somewhat.
