I´d want to report about a interview of a Leica developper.
He said that the size of the M8 was carefully selected. 
Leica-R-lenses are solid, big and heavy. So They need a
appropriate counterpart. It is not OM system. 
The two interesting things: R6.2 and R7 died because the
manufacturing of the shutter was discontinued by the supplier.

Asked about the small quantities for selling R-lenses due to 
offering only one Body, he emphasized that Leica is well 
specialized to handle small baches.
