Great! This should really put them back in the spotlight of big
business. And everyone will have a reason to ditch the old lenses and
upgrade! Who's going to design and produce such a camera for Leica....
Canon or Nikon? Please, no more Minolta. All that "yes, but it's really
a Minolta" (re the R-cameras) gets so boring, in the long run....

Hey... it might even be bigger than the F5! That would set yet another
record for most absurdly large camera to roll a tiny film through....
That impresses clients, though!
