Of course, time will tell--you could be right. A lot of people seem to think Leica finally hit it right on the head with a quality M6 update. The extra focusing accuracy is really needed with the 50/1 and 75/1.4, while it will also improves the focusing accuracy of the 50/1.4 and 90/2. Not that I don't think MANY things could be added, but at least they finally made an important and useful improvement to their camera lineup beyond some ridiculous commemorative. Stephen Gandy
