They are going to find some better than average way to have them working
with Canons or Nikons or both. Maybe Sony's.
I think that arrangement will not break anybody's heart.
I'd love to shoot with a 24x36 format digital which looked  like an R8/9 but
I can live with the Canons or Nikons or both if it's got Ernst Leica on the
front of it and its really him. Not somebody they sold the typeface to.
There is a lot of R glass out there.
