Comments such as these indicate that if Leica were smart, they would take
the M9 guts and slap in a SLR mirror and prism, and bolt on a R lens
mount......

M9 quality with an SLR body.... and R mount lenses.....

I guess that a thin Visoflex with an R mount up front is what is
required..... as a minimum adequate solution.....

How hard could that be?  At least the marketing is done.....

Seriously, from what the messages have been saying, this is what the current
R owners want at a minimum.....

I and others are looking for quality that exceeds the DMR, meets the M9, and
approaches the S2 however with a 24x36 sensor)
