Leica made the M flange to film plane distance shorter so that you could fit your LTM lenses, with the appropriate adapter on their new camera. It still makes perfect sense to me regardless of all the complaints against Leica to the contrary on this list. It would be "relatively" easy to mount a M bayonet mount onto a LTM camera. The difference is only one millimetre and the LTM mount is quite thick. So for a thousand or so, you could make yourself a Bessa-T without the easy load option :-).
