It is apparent that there are some very different views of what the M7 should
be, or whether it sould be at all.  Indeed, many of the comments are mutually
exclusive, so that Leica executives must think they will be damned if they do
and damned if they don't with regard to many features.  They cannot keep
everyone happy.

I suggest for their consideration that the M7 should supplement the M6 and
should not replace it.  The pure mechanical simplicy of the M6 is quite
attractive.  However, there also seems to be a place for an M7 with a faster
shutter etc.
