I think that he is good at collating rumours from other rumour sites!
Possibly he is also married to Herr Kaufmann's Dachshund's vet or something.

So now we are discussing the credibility of his rumour discussing the
credibility of other people's rumours!!!! You have to grin.
The R rumours as far as I can tell all grew out of something extremely
unreliable but sustained by a considerable and understandable desire by R
lens owners. I'm not sure that I would bet against some of the other ones
though.
Probably next week I will be proven completely wrong on every count.

There is an official leak source fed by Leica themselves. That is Andreas
who runs the L Camera Forum. You can get the actual facts via twitter if you
really want, starting Monday night 8pm Central European Summer Time.
