Obviously, you feel that stop-down metering, no auto-diaphragm, no 
focus-confirmation is "maximum flexibility".  I'm able to get that 
much "maximum flexibility" out of a 1964 Pentax Spotmatic!

I am neither rich nor a professional. I am a retired guy, getting by 
on a fixed income. I bought the DMR, because it's performance 
compares with the Canon D1s Mk II, and offers me auto-diaphragm and 
wide-open viewing/metering.  The price was essentially the same.
