They'll probably keep making these little vanity models every now and then as a money/prestige spinner as long as the tools and dies are all still around and someone is willing to commission them. But the M mechanical camera as a normal production model will soon be nothing more than a faint memory :-) tim - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
