By turning a ring on the lens you click in the correct framelines, i.e 28/35/50. From what I was given to understand it is a slow bugger,f 4 and by the nature of the design rather hefty. Leica vehemently denies that they are doing it. This could mean that they are releasing it next week or they havent even thought of producing it, your guess is as good as mine! There is obviously a story on a "M7" in the November issue of "Nippon Camera", maybe one of the japanese LUGgers could give us a synopsis of the article? Tom A
