Well, as long as you agree that you're missing mine, I'l agree to be missing yours :-).
I should admit that at least a year before I bought into this system I was sitting on the fence. And boy, I was wrong. This system is brilliant. As for marketing - I think Ricoh missed the opportunity to present the M-mount module as a very cheap yet very viable alternative to Leica. As for AF replaceable lens modules - well, I doubt that you can do it compact. I think that m43 could be made that way but I couldn't possibly tell whether Ricoh deemed it was worth their while. Apparently they either did not consider it at all, or rejected the idea. As it is, Aahz, you might wanna give it a fair try.
