Leicaphiles on the LUG have been pretty consistent in their contempt for the Hexar RF. If they feared losing sales to something, it would be Voigtlander. Konica has even taken the stance of telling Hexar RF users that their body will not work correctly with Leica lenses. I, for one, hope that they don't fool around with an M7a, as that notion reminds me of Nikon's decision to enter the Joe Blow consumer market 20 years ago with plastic bodies and outsourced lenses.
