Well-known
A copy of the Hexar AF!
The back focus distance of M-mount lenses being insufficient for such a design.
What about a small fixed lens RF? Sure, our Canonets, Yashicas etc. are great, but they are getting old and have their limitations one way or another.
A fast, sharp 40mm lens. The lens in my decades old Canonet would do just fine.
More compact form factor
A good bright finder
AE + modern silicon cell meter + METERED manual override
Extended ISO range
Basically something small, to shoot film, with full manual control that will give outstanding results.
