Sorry Doug... I should have used a much more general 'hello' because my response was more towards the post you had responded on. Would I Buy One? Yes Can I Buy One? Nope Do I think Leica will profitably succeed with their coming mirrorless offering? Yep And Yep irregardless of whether the R Adapter for it is any good. The M community is their bread and butter market. The R folks are a legacy and are incremental sales to getting the M part right. Getting the R part right is a should kind of thing and could be a profit center if they can extend the engineering of it to making N, C, P, or K, adapters.
