<< I just have to ask: :)
1. Same size as the M6, but with a contoured ergonomic body. __Why?
2. Electronic shutter with 1/4000th top speed. __why?
3. Aperature prefered exposure mode (only shutter speed info in the
viewfinder). __It's so simple to use now, __ why?
4&5 fall into the same category of __why? >>
1 - Because look at what it did for the R8.
2 - Because I shoot mostly TriX and would like to shoot at aperatures other
than f11 or f16 (w/o ND filters) in bright sun.
3 - I like aperature priority (probably the most automation I would ever
accept). In some instances, it would enable me to shoot faster.
4 - See #3.
5 - I love the M6. I just want a second body that is a little different.
Hey, its a wish list!! I'm not the design director of Leica! They could very
well expand both the R & M line bodies in order to sell more equipment. If
so, what would you want on the M7 companion body??
