Subject: [Leica] Length of shutter release on R cameras

Marty,

While the style of the R8/9 is a bit unusual, I think they are much nicer on 
the Eye than the Canon EOS cameras, and a whole dimension better in 
ergonomics, they just mold to your hands and the controls just fall into 
place.  Good luck in your search.

Dang, that's what I suspected.  I never thought a Hunchback of Solms
would be among my cameras.  Looks like it might be.
