Subject: [Leica] Hexar RF

I understand there were a few small glitches in the early Konica RF bodies that were
to be remedied in Japan, like weak springs in the lens lock button assembly. Perhaps
the later cameras are more fully compatible with Leica lenses. 

The Konica rangefinder and frame selector designs seem very much like Leicas so no
doubt the cameras CAN be adjusted to work with Leica glass. We've seen new Leicas,
just  out of the box, with analogous problems. I hear from my automobile-owning
friends that this happens with new cars quite a lot too! Personally I avoid the
clunkers.
