[Leica] Leica M8 and M9 Sensor Problems?

[Mark Rabiner]

Which Noct ? f1 or .95?
I do thing the current one will start being made with no cover glass issue.
Does anyone know how well the current Monochrom sells?
I would love a CMOS version with higher isos. Should seem ironic getting
less speed out of a black and white camera than a color version.
