Personally I wouldn't mind an autofocus, autowind, integrated flash, Leica R. 
 And I like an AE on the M.   I like conveniences or "panic" modes if need 
be.   Basically I'd like to be able to use my Leica R glass on my Minolta camera 
body which has a number of well thought out features laid out in a common 
sense (kinda retro) manner.   I don't see what's wrong with certain conveniences 
at all.   That said, if Leica camera bodies are the only way I can use certain 
Leica glass, then so be it!
