While the idea of an adapted M for digital is a no-go, what I'd like to see is a
digital body with dimensions/size/weight very similar to an M with Leicavit, that can
mount M lenses on the front.

For me, the shape/size/weight of the M has as more to do with its virtues as a
shooting tool than do the specifics of its shutter type, advance/rewind mechanism and
(omigosh) focussing system.
