This would, if optimally repackaged, result in a body which was probably taller but narrower. >> My new Contax S2 SLR has a mechanical vertical focal plane shutter. It's height is not more than the M6. Of course this is a mechanical not electronic shutter. I don't know if that makes a difference. It would a shame to change the overall shape or size of an M camera. Tom Shea
