Why doesn't Leica,

	Expand upon the M series of cameras?  There's so many used M lenses  out
there why not expand upon the options available?  ie  Why not an electronic
M to sell along side the mechanical M.  Maybe an electronic M with features
similar to the G2 would nail a potential market that Leica is currently
missing.  Hey I appreciate the classic M's as much as anyone (probably not
true) but rangefinder cameras have some unique advantages over their R
brethren so why not take advantage of that?  Imagine an "EM" with faster
top shutter, TTL flash, selective metering, etc to complement the regular
M.
