[Leica] for those interested in future Leica developments

[hopsternew at gmail.com (Geoff Hopkinson)]

Richard I think that you are taking the thread off track.
There is nothing in the interview to suggest any change to the M viewfinder
arrangement at any point in the future.

There are indications that Leica Camera will have a new system with
interchangeable AF lenses, an EVF and a sensor larger than micro four
thirds, perhaps APS-C size. This system to be positioned below the M in
their range.

I added idle speculation that we might see some special commemorative
cameras in 2014 since Leica Camera will achieve several important
milestones.

The end of May maybe for the official opening of the new Wetzlar
facilities. Photokina is later of course.


Cheers
Geoff
