What does the R stand for. I can see that the adapter for the lens is labeled L(R). Does the R series have a unique mount?

Yes indeedy, it's an SLR, hence the "R" for reflex, and needed a longer register distance to clear the mirror box. (And otherwise, it couldn't be adapted to a 4/3 camera.)

Whole 'nother thing from the classic Leica rangefinders.
