Thanks for the info:
I was thinking more on the lines of swapping out the brightline components,
rather than replacing the whole nine yards. For example when the M4-P was
introduced 28 and 75 windows were retrofittable into older cameras for less
than $100. If the brightline design is substantially improved, e.g.
mid-frame lines for the 75 and 135 lenses and corners for the other
formats, it would be a welcome improvement
