From a friend a got a Leica R3 Electronic (which is based on the Minolta XE-1) and 2 Leica lenses for a test. The lenses have been a Leitz Canada Summicron-R 35mm f2 and a Leitz Canada Summicron-R 50mm f2. I used the camera in Baden on a city walk and took mostly architecture pictures. Later I saw that the camera had a problem with the light meter of one step to low (e.g. 1/250 instead of 1/125 sec). That means that all pictures were too dark. I tried to save some of them and at least the results are not so bad and you can at least imagine the quality of the lenses.

    One stop underexposed worked in this case - the photo has an amazing dramatic and mysterious tone.

    Yes you are right. It worked on some of the pictures but I also had to adjust the light a lot in the Silverfast and DXO to get these results.
