Leica R-E Review

In this episode, Greg and I review the Leica R-E, a manual focus single lens reflex camera built between 1990 and 1994. The R-E is a reduced version of the Leica R5, offering exactly the same features except for the program and shutter speed priority modes, so it only comes with a manual and two aperture priority modes: one with center weighted full area metering and one with selective metering.  Back then, this reduced version addressed first-time Leica buyers or professionals looking for a less expensive second body. It was often sold in combination with the fantastic 28-70mm zoom lens.  The camera is interesting from today’s perspective as it offers relatively inexpensive access to the fantastic Leica R lenses, a maximum shutter speed of 1/2000s, two metering modes and convenient aperture priority, and - most importantly - more reliability then its predecessors R4 and R3 when it comes to the electronics. Interestingly, when the R5 hit the market in 1987, manual focus cameras were not state-of-the-art anymore as many manufacturers offered newly developed auto-focus solutions. The refined R-E is thus a rare transition camera that makes it particularly interesting.  We took the camera out on a photo walk around Castell, Rüdenhausen and Wiesentheid shooting Kodak Ultramax 400 and ADOX CHS 100.
