I got that from a Magazine editor who I was asked not to identify who has been to Solms and talked to them about the future. But there will be a CL2 (NOT an M6.2, it will be completely different - more like a CLE) though that isn't what it will be called. It's the internal name for it at Leica. I think the next M6 like camera that's coming out is more likely to be like the M6-J, but I doubt it's close. > Another point is the 35 f/2 which is a quite old lens. Is it a new 35 >f/2 in It's not that old. It was updated in the mid 80s, and needs no updating. It's a superb lens as it is. Not quite the equal of the Aspheric or the 35 Summilux R, but close enough. -- Eric Welch Grants Pass, OR
