Hi! I am new to RFF !! Hope to learn from you

[JohnL]

RFs are inherently more accurate at focusing wide lenses than SLRs. SLRs win this particular comparison with long lenses. Having said that, before I had an RF that sort of reminded me, I sometimes used to forget to focus altogether, and sometimes underexposed badly, leaving the lenscap on. These are two things you'll need to watch with some 100% manual cameras.

now its going to be an interesting learning ride.. moving from slr to rf....

let see
what kind of GOOD 28 or 35 or 40mm lens would fit on my soon-to-arrive R?

leaving the lenscap on.

Yes! Shooting the insides of lenscaps was a well established rangefinder tradition long befor dSLR users adopted this technique to check their sensors for hot/stuck pixels 😉

Welcome 🙂

For your price range, one great possibility is a Leica CL with the standard 40 summicron-C or 40 rokkor-m lens. A very well built compact package and those two 40mm lenses are easily the best deals in Leica lenses in terms of performance and price.

Good luck

A leica CL doesnt have metering for the light right?
(telling you want shutter speed based on amount of light coming in to lens)

how much would your kit of CL with a 40mm lens cost?
