How often have we got one? M3 1954-1966 M2 1958-1967 M4 1967-1975 M5 1971-1975 M4-2 1978-1980 M4-P 1981-1987 M6 Classic 1984-1998 M6 TTL 1998-2002 M7 2002- MP 2003 Leica M8 2006 Leica M9 2009 That's 12 but 3 are tweaks so lets say 9 That's one about every 6 years for 55 years I can see them coming out with the m9-5 which recognizes your F stops. I can see one with the selenium blue sensor which shoots around corners - has a IR switch and has not been invented yet. The M9-6 The M7 was a culmination and perfection of 86 years of Leica. The M9 is the digital version of that. I could shoot with one for 20 years I cant imagine ever wanting anything more. Although I just might want the 12MP version with the higher ISO's. And maybe cheaper price tag. Mark William Rabiner
