No Shawn. The Leica R8 and all other Rs are the only platform for the R
glass. That, sir, is what makes them Leicas. You can wish for more
technology in the body (though I don't personally), but if you want the
look, you gotta shoot the body. Unless, of course, you're willing to
spend an even greater fortune on bodywork.
