Y'know,  Richard.  A "module" like this, with an R mount, and a solenoid
driven "do-dad" for auto-aperture control could be interesting.  Of course,
I'd want an add-on viewfinder, such as the separate EVF for the Pen cameras.

I don't really imagine it will happen in my lifetime.  Too few "R" users,
compared to "M" users to make it financially worthwhile for Ricoh.

Pity.
