Withdraw the R system?  This would be the most incredible event in the
history of photography!  If Leica would stop the R system, then can someone
suggest a camera system to allow the following photography with Leica
quality:

- -macro shots,
- -landscapes with graduated filters, to get a correct sky,
- -wildlife photography, using 600mm+ lenses
- -SLR photography with lenses equivalent to the 19/2.8, 28/2.8, 50/2, 50/1.4,
100/2.8apo, 180/2.8apo, 70-180/2.8apo, etc. etc.

No - there is no system capable of the above to match the Leica-R.
