OTHER SOURCES OF INFORMATION FOR LEICA-R LENSES

In the course of researching the Leica-R and Leitz-R lenses, below are some websites which proved helpful. The Leica R-system has been in use for over 40 years, so much of their history pre-dates the internet. Finding quality information is difficult and often Leica user forums are the best resource. Much of the needed information is stored in the minds of other Leica-philes, so embrace user forums.

Finding information regarding which Leica lenses will work on Canon EOS dSLRs is easier to find since this is a more current topic. When discussing these lenses with others, be sure to clarify precisely which lens you are talking about. Many Leica-R lenses have been redesigned two, three or four times. Sometimes one version will work on Canon dSLRs, but the other versions. With Leica lenses attention to detail is key.
