Revision as of 15:43, 28 October 2011

Leica R5 is a 35mm film SLR camera made by Leica and produced between 1986-92.

The Leica R5 is an improved and updated Leica R4.

It has the same exposure modes, except the program mode has an 11-step shift capability.
TTL flash exposure with Metz SCA series flash units was added as was an eyepiece with built-in diopter adjustments.
The viewfinder was redesigned for greater eye-relief.
The shutter speed range was increased: 15 to 1/2000.
All other features of the R4 were retained on the R5.

The Leica R5's successor is Leica R6.

Produced between 1990-94
The RE is basically an R5 without a program mode. It is an economy model of the R5 with reduced feature set.
