Nope. They did the research. It was not possible to adapt the M6/7 to
digital and keep certain aspects of the camera they are determined to keep.

the box for Leica.

He that is proud of riches is a fool. For if he be exalted above his
neighbors because he hath more gold, how much more inferior is he to a gold
mine.
