GL Optics Leica R

Yes, you're reading this right. We have two different sets of vintage Leica R primes. This set was rehoused by GL Optics, which is a slightly different approach than the TLS set. The look will be nearly identical, but the GL Optics set has replaced all the irises with modern 9-blade assemblies. The GL housings are slightly larger and heavier than the TLS, and deeper compendiums mean potentially less flare, which may be a consideration. The GL set also comes with a few more focal lengths, if that strikes your fancy.
