Chuck,

The Leica SL, around $7000, body only, can, with an adapter, use the Leica-R lenses. That's a pretty steep price. I make good use of them on Oly 4/3 and Fuji bodies.

Ah, I see that there are no more Leica DSLRs.  I didn't know that.

What does the R stand for.  I can see that the adapter for the lens is

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.
