So...  the excessively obvious conclusion based on this broad hint is:
 - That 28/2.0 ASPH we've been hearing about
 - A lower-mag body

	--> OR a totally new product, such as a breed between
	a M6 and R8, with integral AFX high performance zoom

	--> OR an AFX Leica R series camera

	--> OR something digital to convert a Leica M

	--> OR a radical concept in optics (with a new series of lenses)

	--> OR Summicron AFX lenses for Nikon AF and Canon AF bodies

	--> OR an iMAC like Z3x, translucent plastics included

	--> OR a Summicron or Elmarit 75mm, M and R versions

	--> OR a Leica brand projection screen

	--> OR a Leicanos UW system

	--> OR "My First Leica" Z2X special edition

	Your projections are quite close to what would be
	easy to sell, but I'm convinced there's more,
	and far more exciting . . . to please the investors.
