Tom, I'm thinking I want you to make me an entire M!!!

why is it Contax and others can put a winder inside a package smaller
than an M, but Leica can't build even a small add on??  Is there a
technical reason you couldn't make a motorwinder for the M very small
and very quiet??

And Maybe you should make a winder for the R8!!!!
