Javier;
	He said many years earlier that he was very frustrated with the R
bodies (this may have been during the R4-R5 era) and, in fact, Leitz had
consulted with him. A few years later I saw in the Geographic that he had
switched to EOS.
	The M system seems to be the first priority with him.

It doesn't apply.
He's referring to a prticular lens.
If it had been on R mount he would
have kept the Rs and scrapped the Ms.
