But the lens design itself has to be different to accomodate for the distance
to the film mandated by the mirror. I think this is what makes SLR lenses
bigger, not the auto diaphragm.
As for the noise, I think the mirror slap is the biggest culprit. How about a
semi-transparent fixed mirror, like the Canon RTS (or whatever it was
called)?
I wonder why you'd ask this. Do you feel you'd like to have a TTL viewfinder
on a Leica? I feel that way myself, haven't gotten used to focusing with the
M6 at all. I'm too used to focusing on the ground glass on the MX...
