Is Sean Reid testing R lenses on a new M body?

This is pure speculation but Sean Reid is asking his subscribers to lend him a set of R lenses and an M adapter for testing. I wonder why he is suddenly interested in testing R lenses. Seems to me that he might be in possession of a new M body to test those lenses with. B)

 

... or he is comparing the R lenses on a M body with those R lenses on a different body...

Could be... I offered him a couple of mine, and Sean is getting his program together (he says).

 

But you know, Leica or its employees in Wetzlar have multiple copies of every R lens. And those pieces can be validated before testing.

 

My hunch is his query is only as it appears. Also, the new body would require an adapter for R that Leica will announce only ship one year later.

Interesting - reinvention, new milestone, portfolio of cameras and lenses.  Sounds like what we've been anticipating. 

 

I might have have to rest scribe to Sean's website - more fruit and veges, the backs of people's heads and blurry coins!  Yay!  Actually, Sean if you read this, ditch the Flash site, and I'll resubscribe.

Several times, I have sworn that I won't subscribe again because of the Flash basis for Sean's site. Then, when I really need a top-notch review, I give in and resubscribe! Not again ... (or so I say now).

Sean understandably wants to protect his work by having a paid site.  I am sympathetic.   But the site is very difficult (I am being charitable) to read on either a computer or a tablet and I am going to let my subscription lapse.  There must be a different way; Sean is not the only one trying to protect content.   But he has, so far, stubbornly (IMHO) refused to budge.

Personally I have dumped Flash off my system, so I cannot subscribe to his site. I would if he would dump Flash.

Same with me.  As a whole, I don´t miss Flash at all; very few sites seem to stick with it nowadays.  Only Reidreviews.... :huh: .  I´d be resubscribing in a flash ( :p ) if Sean would only use a working interface for the reviews.  The contents were first rate.

The comments at the bottom are very interesting including this little gem. Looks like a new R actually, so back in the trad DSLR market then.

Flash has too many security issues.  I haven't had it installed on my computer for about a year now.  Sorry Sean, I understand the issue of DRM, but I won't subscribe to your out-dated site again.  

I sent Sean a link years ago about people called Wordpress who off a hosting system for things like blogs and reviews, which all run in HTML (probably HTML5 now) and works miles better than his horrible Flash system. I said I was leaving and would not come back until he replaced Flash. It is not even as if it is secure. I have software which can grab things off Flash pages.

HTML5 would be better. It is a learning leap, but I'm looking into Adobe Flash Professional CC.
