Hello Aram,
very excellent point on 'going AF' with R-mount backwards compatability. I
was sincere about hoping I was missing something re: Diesel 9 design options.
I am not an engineer, I am not a Financier, I am not a marketer - just a fellow
takin pictures and glad to have heard an 'out' for R mount to go digital I
hadn't seen.

I would think that if they do ever decide to go for the R9Diesel, it would
be with auto-focus lenses, and backward support for the manual R lenses, so
it makes sense that they would stop production of R lenses, as any new
lenses would be autofocus, much like the S2 lenses. So, I do not see
discontinuing the R lenses as a permanent NO to any Leica 35mm digital SLR
in the future. I do not hold my breathe in these hard economic times, but
for me, one does not automatically eliminate the other.
Aram
