If it ever happens I will join Cotty at the hat table. You could try an Olympus E series camera with adapters, of course. Look what this was shot with: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Donna.tif.html
Or you could wait for the Leica S2 to come out and hope that they also do an M42 adapter. Or give up on dreams of an SLR and go for an RF camera - try a Leica M8 or Epson R2D2 with adapters.
