What is all this talk about a Rollei 35? I have two of them but they were 
never my main/only camera.... I almost always have a camera (M9 or MM) over 
my shoulder and always an iPhone, so that covers most bases.

I do think these cameras will be in a more compact category than a Leica M.
But closer to a Rollei 35. Or for that matter a Barnack. A Leica LTM. Or SM.
Its cameras which really do fit in a lot more pockets and have a lot more 
possibility of being with you all the time. I do think the original Barnack 
concept.
I don't get the Leica R thing is there an adaptor I didn't see that.
Not too much overlap between a Rollei 35 and a Leica R concept.
Most of the R glass will be far bigger than the camera. You'd have to be an 
idiot to go that route.
