The Leica R4S Bringing It All Back Home returns for an episode on where to go next with your Leica R series lenses. Bored with the Leicaflex SL? Ready to take a gamble on the R3-R7 series (when Leica partnered with Minolta)? We'll dive into what to look out for, why the Leicaflex SL still rules—yet what makes this Leica R4s such a cool 1986 companion. Topics: Walter Mandler, Shutter Lag, the 160 millisecond norm, how to find the silver piston of the mirror damper, and why these particular R series cameras are still very much a fun gamble.
