I need help, stuck between two SLRs

[Parptarf]

True. I love this Summicron already and I haven't even developed any film from this camera. The lens just feels so perfect.

Did they make the Old noctilux for the R system? The f/1 version.

The R Noctilux is F1.2

 

[Parptarf]

Is it the same one as the original 1.2 one for the M but with an R mount?

 

[gsgary]

But it didn't go into production http://rlfc.cocolog-nifty.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/08/04/115994a_2.jpg

How I would want to get my hands on that impressive piece of glass!

An M9-P with a new Noctilux is on my wishlist. The way that lens renders images at f/0.95 is incredible

No R and M lenses are not alike

 

[gsgary]

I would like an M8 for B+W or an Epson RD1

I am not sure why some people are against Leica Rs and the Leica R lenses.
In fact, at above 90mm, the Leica R lenses seem to do quite better than their M counterparts (at least the last time I checked).
In this case however, given the choices that you have, I believe the Nikon F3 is the best choice.
Now if you were comparing the R6 and/or 6.2 or above, I'd go for Leica.

Went for the R4s already, The nikon was too large for the purpose I'm using this SLR for. Tge R4s is smaller than a Nikon FE too actually.

Good choice! I have an R3 electronic and I use it quiet often, but I have to admit I use the Nikon F3 just a bit more

 

[Parptarf]

I'd imagine the F3, or the Fm3a would be a "better" camera generally. But I'm really happy about this R4s so far. That Summicron fifty has the smoothest focusing I have ever tried. And the whole setup feels incredibly well built.

I also have the Summicron R50, and yes, it is an awesome lens!

 

[Parptarf]

Can't wait to develop the photographs from the R4s. My FE with the Ai-s 50 f/2 was a tad dissapointing honestly. The AF-S 50 f/1.4G I use on mt D800 is much much sharper.

That Ai-s lens isn't in the best shape though. But this Summicron looks pristine, and so does the camera.

Not sure if you have seen this, one of the greatest photogrphers and he uses a Leica R
