How does Adorama find out about this stuff first!????

"replacing the LCD monitor cover with scratch-resistant sapphire glass"

" replacing the current shutter with a new electronically-controlled
metal-blade slotted shutter that offers less noise and vibration."

" A Leica representative suggested that other, more major upgrades and
possibly a new version of the M8 (an M8a, perhaps) may be introduced at
Photokina--and current M8 users would be able to upgrade to get all of the
new model's features."


So will the new cut off filter free Leica be an M8 or higher number?

News at 11.

Tune in Photokina Sept.
