Anyone remember the strange-looking 35mm rangefinder Bronica proposed in 
the early 80s? There's another possibility. 
 
I would hope, also, that Nikon brings out a competitor to the M6. It can 
only help keep the prices down on the M6. Or maybe it will blow the M6 
away, and cause Leica to do some heavy thinking on updates? Maybe Leica 
already knows about it, and that's one reason they're going public to 
improve technology and increase R&D as the Financial Times reported? 
 
Rumor center, right here on the Leica list. ;-) 
 
And as Fred noted, a new direction for Leica's ads. And from the sound of 
it, about time.
