[Leica] 75 'cron

...Besides which - the argument remains the same; they already have what
is probably the world's best 75 - how much of a market can there be for
another. The 75 Summilux will also work on a digital body. ;-)

That's my thinking. Not much longer than a 50, but without the reach of 
a 90.

BUT lets assume they are thinking down the road:

75 x 1.37 = 102.75

Rumor has it that the digital M will not be full frame, but will have a 
1.37 mag factor
like the R-Module.
