Since the Leicaflex's SL Viewfinder construction and selective meter Leica has been unable to offer real innovations in it's reflex line. To my mind AF would be catching up with the C/N/M. Since Leica has developed into a niche product and it's customers are mainly elderly people who hate changes/innovations/new thoughts (although that's what live is - changing), Leica should better stay away from experiments with new technology. Christian Now we have only to wait for the standard comments from the Lug gang.
