[Leica] New R Solution?

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey at mchsi.com)]

A 4/3 solution, of which already more or less exists, is not a solution I 
would ever consider, and would be a total waste of excellent R optics.  If 
this is what they expect us to accept, then I will be converting my R lenses 
to Nikon mounts when my R8DMR dies.

Cheers,
Gene

If this hinted solution eventuates and proves to be micro four thirds based,
you may want to avoid the internet forums for a couple of weeks! The
pitchforks and torches will be out in force. I cannot imagine any hard core
R user being satisfied. I think I'd be adapting my glass to Nikon or Pentax
or Canon instead. The other rumour of course is something based around the
X1 sensor but it is entirely specualtion and wishing, as far as I know.

My bet is for something new in the M world where nearly all of their focus
is.
