Hi agan Ted. I wasn't thinking so much about a retrofittable (is this a word?) solution so much as something they might have thought about for the R-8, or could incorporate into an "R-9." I have a feeling that the next Leica SLR will be slimmer, but that may just exchange one group of disgruntled customers for another. Designing it from the get-go so the user can adjust the ergonomics is my suggestion to avoid that and at the same time enhance functionality for as large a group as possible.
