Didn't just about the whole Leica world turn it's collective nose up and not buy? Don't many blame the lack of strong sales of the R8 on the "hunchback factor". Leica was very wise indeed to pack the changes within the shell of the accepted M frame. In fact, if they could redesign the electronics to bring the topplate back to the size of the classic, that change would let me use a viso with auto exposure and TTL flash, something I would find interesting.
