The Leica
R5 is a logical development of the R4 with extended facilities, namely
: TTL flash exposure measurement, extended shutter speed range from 15 to 1/2000
sec. an eyepiece with built in ocular correction from +2 to -2 dioptries and
much greater eye relief, enabling spectacles weares to see the whole field
and exposure data in the viewfinder .
All relevant data in the form of figures or LED symbols, for control of
the camera is displayed in the viewfinder and lies outside the image area.
The five exposures modes are similar to those of the R4, except that the
programme mode is variable. Minor improvements on the R4 are the exposure mode
selector can no longer be changed inadvertently and the take up spool is metal.
