Re: [Leica] Leica R death

Now there's an idea.  Refit an OM-1 or OM-3Ti to take Leica R lenses and TTL
flash conections and rebadge it as an R6.3 or R9 or something.  Stick the
new top cover on in Solms so that you can stamp "Made in Germany."  Now
you're talking!  They could even round the sides to follow the latest
M/C1/C11 styling thing.

Steve Gandy - How about an R to OM adapter?
