What's the minimum quantity order for a modified or special model that leitz will process for a given customer? If it's not too high perhaps we could get enough buyers together to have one commisioned. I've always felt that they should have taken the R6 one step further and produced a compleatly meterless body! Think of how uncluttered the thing would look without the mode/meter selector lever or the self timer switch. Because it's not required for insulation the plastic shutter speed dial could be replaced with a nicely machined, taller metal one (black or chrome) and an ASA reminder dial would be all that's needed on the other side. Just a basic super clean camera! In fact, it would require new top and bottom plates new dials and not much else. Is anybody interested? Does anybody know how to do this or how much it might cost per camera? Javier
