[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Leica Fotografie has an article about the reasoning behind the system lineup, by an unspecified author. They didn't make a digital R because they were afraid only existing R owners would buy it (corollary -- few new lens sales!) Pretty much the same info about the vaporware "R Solution." Being in the "concept stage" likely means its still just an idea they are bantering back and forth, but even at that it doesn't sound like it will be much different than an NEX/NX/EOS with an R adapter -- unless it happened to be FF or somehow work an auto diaphragm and open aperture metering mechanism into an adapter (REVIL? EVILR?). Basically, an EVIL camera with an AF mount and optional M and R mounts, that would also serve as an entry path into M. Just to engage in sheer speculation, it almost sounds like they are describing the upcoming hybrid viewfinder Fuji with interchangeable lenses -- hmmm. Of course, if an M10 were made with live view with a built in or optional EVF, and an R to M adapter, they could just call that the R solution! . This disappointed R user is getting cynical and very close to selling it off for a Nikanony outfit!
