Since Leica is refusing to come up with a compact FF mirrorless camera (in order to segment their SL and M line), I might pick one up eventually to use with Leica lenses (cover glass is a bit thinner with less corner smearing than Sony or Canon sensors), maybe even the Techart autofocusing adapter will work reasonably well.
Not the greatest fan of the native lens range, those pancakes with plastic mounts. I prefer more interesting F-mount lenses like the 28/1.4 but probably looks a bit weird on this body.

It would be awesome if Canon were to adopt a FD mount design aesthetic on future bodies.

I don't need the FD aesthetic - I just use the FD 100mm 2.0 adapted on the RF mount - what a great lens!

If you want that FD look.

I want the RF optical performance and modern conveniences.
