ah yes… I now remember you mentioning the R3MOT.
because those were the ones that never felt good in my hands;
even as I loved the glass on them.

Perhaps because they replaced my stolen Nikon Ftns;
which felt as totally right in my hands;
as the Leica Ms did.

a sort of half truth…
as I certainly enjoy my R8/DMR
and always enjoy seeing other's DMR photography

Absolutely! totally agree

sort of agree… immaterial to viewers of the results;
though potentially very material to the crafts person using the tool.

When tools feel so very correct in the hand;
at the eye; to accomplish a given task;
I really can't say "immaterial" or "don't matter"
