And, assuming that this isn't all a hoax - and that photo sure looks like a
cut-and-paste job to me! - there comes the big question - why f4 lenses?

Hi Christian,

The Hasselblad folks have been reading the many "M7" suggestions from
photographers on the LUG! :)  If they haven't, they've been mind reading!

According to the press release discription, this sounds very much like a
re-vamped M6 to what many commented "what they'd like to see in a new M7"

There are a couple of questions: price (important to many of us) and how
quickly they'll be available. It wont be long and one of our stalwart LUG
members will have one in hand for a down to earth critique.

Sure sounds interesting.  The question that comes to mind.....What does
Leica have up it's sleeve as a counter measure?
