[Leica] NO R solution @ Photokina

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

Don't really think though that leaking stuff to bloggers is a way Leica has
to pre set up a product announcement. I just think they're too old fashioned
for that.

The way the pre leaked the M9 was by firing their CEO who dared mention that
one might be in the works, be at all possible to do, and that they'd ever
have any plans to do one.
"There will be no full frame Leica M forever."
And then boom we got one.
Now THAT'S BRILLIANT strategy.

I think we need to not feel the rumor mill. By paying undo attention to it.
It seems to me to be people who want attention.
Read by wishful thinkers.
