Leica IMO needs to come out with R versions of some of the ground breaking M
Lenses they have come out with over the last few short years.
This would stir up interest in a camera aimed at a limited audience in the first place.

An R Version of the 
35 f/2 Summicron-M Asph
90 F/2 APO Summicron-M Asph
135 f/3.4 APO-Telyt-M
	These and some rented balloons should do the trick.
