Hi Collin, Having owned Leica R gear and owning Leica M and Pentax SLR equipment I wouldn't hesitate to say that I think that the Pentax 35mm SLRs complement the Leica M cameras and lenses far better than the Leica R range. Leica M lenses are well known for their low weight per FL vs max aperture whereas the Leica SLR 50f2R lens is one of the biggest 50mm lenses that I have seen. All their R glass is over sized and overweight IMHO. The Leica R glass performs admirably but no better than the good Pentax glass from my experience.
