I would rather see them spend a bit of energy on the M-system. It only needs a couple of things that we all probably agree on. One is at least 250/sec flash sync. The other is TTL fill flash. Beyond that, it is a nearly perfect system. And those things can be found in small point and shoots, so they are doable in the M-system. Then make a 28 1.4 ASPH and 90 and 135 APO. And a small motor winder, very small and quiet for us left-eyed people. Then they can be done with that for about 15 years and concentrate on the R-system. Donal Philby San Diego
