What it is
{"overview":"The Leitz R5 is a 35mm SLR camera from Leica's R-series, introduced in the mid-1980s as a successor to the R4. Check the light seals, the battery compartment for corrosion, and the condition of the leatherette, which commonly lifts with age.

Versions and how to tell them apart
Questions
Is the Leitz R5 a good value buy?
Relative to mechanical Leicas the R5 offers a lot of camera for the price, but its value is condition-sensitive because the electronics are harder to service than the meters and shutters of earlier R bodies.
What lens mount does the Leitz R5 use?
It uses the Leica R bayonet mount and is not compatible with M-mount rangefinder lenses.
