The lighting is different today anyway then it was three weeks ago I mentioned that the DM-R which is the Leica back for the R system is a thing we just have to get past. Why dwell on it? Ok Erwin come out with a thing on it I guess that's a reason. Maybe. If Leica has a hairs thin shot at survival then they'll come out with a digital body for the R system in a few months. Pay off somebody to do it for them nobodies going to care. We're using Epson Cosina for our M glass why not use Minolta or Fuji to shoot our R glass. Other than the fact that we hate their collective guts. But they've got to be come nice company out there which knows how to wire stuff together inside a camera; perhaps less adept in the Swiss clock mechanisms we run into in the rare mechanical cameras. Like a Leica. M. or LTM. Or Pentax Spotmatic. Maybe some company from Finland!!! Or Daneland! Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon http://rabinergroup.com/
