[Leica] M 246 or M Monochrom

[Richard Man]

The new Leica naming scheme is just nuts. So there is still only one
version M Monochrom, based on the CCD sensor right? Or is there a new one
based on CMOS?

Do we have:
M9 based on CCD, and derivatives (M-P, M-A, etc.)
M Type "who the fcsk knows" based on CMOS, that's the M240, isn't it?
M Type CMOS but with higher resolution?!! Is that the Type 246?

Or do I get it all wrong?
