Subject: Re: [Leica] New M on Photokina (was: a 28 Summicron-M at photokina)

Seriously though, my speculation is that there will be an aperture priority
M6 on Photokina. The CEO of Leica Cohn has spoken of an "improved" M6. A low
magnification M6 will constitute an M6 variant, but that will not be the
same as an "improved" M6.
