Ric, were you asking which M9 new features may be transferrable to the M8?
The M9 firmware is reportedly completely new and the camera uses different
electronics (although still from Jenoptik), so I guess functions are not
necessarily duplicable in the M8/.2 . Stefan Daniel did tell us in June that
Leica would continue to release new firmware updates for the M8, although
there would be no further physical upgrade versions.
