[LRflex] Re: Erwin Puts on the DM-R

Good Mornin' Jerry!

Yes, I too could easily and happily live with the r4 though R7 form factor=
 in a digital.  Although the ergonomics of the R8/9 are certainly much=
 nicer than the R4/7 series.

I think that simple economics will dictate that the current body size will=
 be continued. OTOH, Hans Peter Cohen, when he was in charge, admitted that=
 the R8/9 sizing was a mistake and that when they'd paid off the tooling,=
 they wouldn't do that again! So, who knows?

Heavens, the camera may never appear, but I can dream, can't I?
