Subject: Re: [Leica] KONICA HEXAR II = Leica compatible?

What this is saying is that a new version of the Konica Hexar, with a
faster top shutter speed,  will soon be here. Apparently, it will take
interchangeable lenses in the Leica M mount.
I, for one, am curious as to if and how we will therefore have AF with M
lenses.
This would be the main advantage of this camera because, otherwise, the
Hexar (nice as it is) is no  better than an M camera: the finder is good
but not great, size is nice but not really compact...
