Default Leica M8 - is the lens mount THAT expensive?

Leica is good at mechanical work.....but not very good at electronics?....so
hopefully they
have got a partner to design and produce the electronic part of the camera.

Is it possible to find a working R4 today?? .....I guess that most SL2's
still working.



Plenty of working R4 bodies available - just look on eBay! And plenty
of Minolta parts bodies available too. ;-)

The SL2s will probably still work after a 23rd century nuclear
holocaust - they were simply *too* well made.
