And where did you get the information that the S2 stole the resources from some never really corroborated R10 development, with the exception of a casual remark by Leica at the last Photokina that more or less said it would pick up on the size of the R7 rather than the R9. The R-system was very much on the slippery slope even before the digital revolution and the economic crisis came along - a dead end if ever there was one - the development of a digital-R should have been started as soon as the R7 appeared, but, even back then, Leica was in a very precarious financial situation (as they still are today).
