Why and how ? Judging from the G2, such a shutter does not - per se - imply a larger body... And are talking about 1 to 5 mm or over 5mm height differnces here ? =========================================== The (aborted) M6 Electronic top plate that was auctioned at Christies earlier this year had an extra hieght of perhaps 5mm. I've no idea why this should have been neccersary but if the M5 wasn't liked for being a different size then presumably Leica felt that a different sized M6 wouldn't be as good as a standard size one, and somaybe they're waiting till they can make the whole electronic package fit insidea normal sized M camera carcas...
