Not that contax listens, or so it seems by their apparent "buy it and your on your own" attitude expressed on another thread, but IF you could design an ideal body, what would be its characteristics?
My wish list:
1) Quiet operation; either detachable motor drive or a very quiet slow speed motor
2) Lit and easily readable shutter speed (three digit perhaps?) and aperture indications
3) Spot and center weighted metering BOTH TO WORK DOWN TO EV 2 or lower at asa 100
4) Extended flash metering capability (my gossen meter only works to f2.8 at asa 100)
5) Lit and readable compensation indication
6) 1/500th flash sync.
7) Second curtain flash capability
8) TTL flash, diopter correction,
9) True flash compensation without having to go manual mode....
10) Data port for retrieving exposure information: docking cradle, firewire, usb, IR....think CMOS
11) Film motion indication....(more than the rewind lever!!!!) I've misloaded film once to often.......
12) Mirror lock up: I don't use it but may someday
13) Ready for a digital back (along the line of leica?)
14) Compact and lightweight.......
15) Image stabilization...pie in the sky but why not..
Just curious as to what other folks needs and or desires are..
