But I still think Barnack would be turning over in his grave with people holding Leica M's out in front of their face like morons shooting videos or what have you. And I'm not sure since when it was up to the M system to give life to R glass. I think there will be a pancake view in the back only slab Leica M and R compatible probably Panasonic made capture making device so we can put our heirloom glass to life M or R or LTM. And shoot videos with Max Berek or Walter Mandler specials from days gone by. They may have the M system retain some of its dignity as they have so far. They are not going to trash the M system for the sake of consumer compatibility and competition..
