Now I see why you are the first one to say any thing. I am particularly astounded that Leica had little to show. Not even the MP-6? After all that contretemps on the RUG, to not show it? That is supreme arrogance. They must know that the faithful will fall in line to buy it anyway. Personally, I will wait till the blush is off the rose and buy when there are a few used ones available.
