The EVF Is required for me. I really do not care about AF nor weather sealing. If it will use R lenses AND provide auto diaphragm operation, I'm in. Assuming it is priced such that I can keep all appendages.

The rumor mill says: autofocus SLR shape, slightly bigger than M or Q viewfinder similar to Leica Q viewfinder sensor similar to Leica Q sensor adapters for M and R lenses IBIS my speculation: weather resistance similar to Leica S lens mount derived from the Leica T If the adapter for R lenses is any more than a dumb tube I'm in. Pennies being saved... and you'll hear more from me once Brian's friday declaration is posted.
