Australia/New Zealand Leica R at Camera Lane

[Mute-on]

Spotted the following in the window of Camera Lane, Melbourne:

R8
R8 with Digital Module R
100 Macro-Elmarit R
35-70 / 4 R
80 Summilux R
50 Summilux R

No prices on display, so I expect they are very recent additions. All appeared in excellent cosmetic condition. Didn’t have time to stop and ask questions / handle.

Cheers,

Whoever the prior owner was, he knew his lenses.

After Huss's post I had a look around for the R8 and 9 bodies and R lenses and found that the bodies can be had for little money but that the R lenses remain 'expensive'.

The 50 Summicron-R isn’t bad due to the larger supply, but the others have been “discovered”.

No worries

Agreed. I never expected to see the Macro-Elmarit and 50 & 80 Summiluxes in Australia, let alone in the one place!

Just as well there were no prices shown. I may not have kept moving ...

R8 is $680 AUD. Looks in very nice condition. DMR attached but no price.

Bugger, right in my backyard and I don't have the coin to get them. The lenses are great for film making.

What's the battery situation these days for DMR? Iirc it was troubling already 5+ years ago.
