And a > general rubberizaion of the extremities! Mwell, the rubberization is a bit ambiguous, but as to the hinge back... I love those! And I want an electronic shutter and .... Okay, let's not get repetitive: I want *all* the electronics of the R8 in an M camera. And the magnification factor of the rangefinder window must change in accordance with each lens. It will be a mini R8 without slapping mirror. Winder is optional, but the motor-drive will probably be due only by 2007, unless it's outsourced to people who know what they're doing. (Sorry, even though I'm fine with the winder and not in the market for the elusive motor-drive, I can't cope with the thought that my favorite camera maker would put out a "system", without the essential element for a huge number of photographers).
