How are they going to rationalise the offset microlenses with the distant 
exit pupil of the R lenses?
Surely the offset microlenses are optimum for one exit pupil position, which 
I imagine all/most new M lenses comply to. The R lenses will be much 
different. I can't imagine how a system optimum for one could be ideal for 
the other. Perhaps there will be a new M to R adapter with some (very 
expensive...) correction in it.
