Now, is it possible to build an aperture priority M6 with a cloth shutter? (Probably not.) I wouldn't mind an AE M6, but I much prefer the silent operation of a cloth shutter. On the other hand, I think Leica is in the right direction to consider medium format. Afterall, it's becoming harder and harder to sell the R8, a camera which I really like, when a Contax 645 can produce vastly superior images in a similar size and weight (if the R8 is equipped with a motordrive). Afterall, many if not most buy a Leica for its image quality, something that will be increasingly difficult to justify. Regards, Chris
