[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I've been asked not to reveal my source (disappointing I know) for this but I have heard tell of a prototype made by Leitz which was an M6 with an R4 shutter installed, presumably it worked as there'd be no point in installing it without it working... I enquired as to whether the camera had a working auto exposure setting and there was no further information available other than this camera is now owned outside of Leica and it was made over 4 years ago. So exploratory work has obviously been done, though it begs the question, 'If not then, why now? If indeed at all'. Jem
