-------------------------------------
I signed the petition today. Status is 280 now. I have a heavy
investment in R glass, including for instance the 35-70/2.8 Vario
Elmarit. For the time being, and before resolving to go the Leotax
path, I use the R lenses on my G1.
It would not look too difficult nor extremely expensive to build
(perhaps by Panasonic) a full-format G1 with the M9 sensor. No need of
AF nor IS for the base model, just be able to use existing lenses
manually. If it does well, later add AF and IS and compatible lenses
that would open a new lens market for Leica.
Do sign the petition here
<http://www.summilux.net/r10/index.php?lang=en>. If it will not
achieve anything, at least we tried our best

I tend to agree, however a compatible reflex mount would be more
enabling for existing R glass. One would have the same program modes
available as on the R7, (Sorry, no experience with later Rs) i.e, the
camera would be able to meter wide open and then take the shot in
program mode adjusting aperture and shutter speed according to the
tendency the photographer has set. The G1 is fine but it will only
determine shutter speed and full manual mode is also quite awkward.
I have added my name to the petition. A full frame G1 type of camera is
a step forward and it would be nice to mount R glass on it but I would
not expect to pay M9 prices for it.
Cheers
