> 
> I have it on the good authority of my Wetzlar insider contact (let's call her Deep Thambar) that as a final commemoration of this 90th anniversary year, Leica will be issuing a limited edition of digital Ms pre- loaded with 900 classic images which the owner will be free to print, share or sell as if their own. Registering the camera upon purchase establishes copyright.
> 
> The images were culled from films left unclaimed at photo labs during the past 90 years. Leica has devoted a huge effort to sorting and selecting appropriate ohotos covering the historic timespan of the marque.
> 
> There will be separate colour and black & white editions of these pre-loaded cameras. The b&w versions are scheduled to sell for at least 10% more than the colour image loaded cameras.
> 
> Early image-loaded cameras (especially pre-WWII or those with wartime images) are expected to be in hot demand. 
> 
> The cameras will be sold body only -- no lensmount affixed.
