Does anybody have reliable information about this ? Is it the <right time to buy a M6 ? I didn't hear anything about new M-models. Anyway, I don't think that an upgraded version of the M6 is very different. Otherwise at least *I* wouldn't like to buy the new model. But I would be happy if the M6 would get an electronic sister like the old Minolta CLE, but with the extended base of the rangefinder of the M6. That would be a nice pair for me. <Another point is the 35 f/2 which is a quite old lens. Is it a new 35 f/2 in <preparation? Don't know again. I use the 2.0/35 very often and I can say, it is optically a very good lens and also extremely compact. If you need to have ultimate optimal quality, try the 1.4/35 Aspherical. It's damned expensive, but due to a post of Chasseur D'Image's ratings it seems to be the best 35 mm around (when I remember correctly). Joerg
