Then come out with the R6.5 a major tweek of the R6.2! :) by the way checkout the R6.2 it's a Gorgeous camera!!!! http://www.leica-camera.com/produkte/rsystem/r62/index_e.html IF the R6.2 is a Nikon FM2 than they need to spiff it up with an auto setting like on an M7 or any other camera made today and turn it into a Nikon FE2. And get that sync speed of 100 at least a half stop if not a full stop faster. Leica seems to be in the mood to make cameras for their lenes. I think we should let them. And buy them. I sure plan to ... get into the R system. Maybe an R6! All solid workable cameras.
