Re[2]: [Leica] Shutters

     In your reference to "the M vs. R discussion," the statement that "an 
     R [is] out of place when it comes to ultra-pocketability" implies that 
     an M camera, on the other hand, embodies that quality---certainly a 
     gross exaggeration.  A Leica M3/M2/M4/M6 is just as wide as a Leica 
     R4/R5/R6/R7 and not a hell of a lot shorter in height.  The one really 
     "ultra-pocketable" Leica (other than the early screwmount models) was, 
     of course, the Leica CL, which in many ways remains a unique gem in 
     the entire Leica line.

     As many wise men and women on this group have concluded in regards to 
     the M vs. R discussion, the key is knowing when to use each camera.  
     Just as an M is outclassed when it comes to long lenses, so is an R 
     out of place when it comes to ultra-pocketability and wide-angle 
     lenses.
