How about that  new 50/1.4 M? The new Noct? 70/2.4? M6W? R9? R8.2? CL2?
Date I'll be married?

Danny Gonzalez

Well, Danny, ahem, I'd like to answer that instead (after looking deeply
into the SCHOTTGLAS crystal ball): 

50/1.4 M --  overnext year
new Noct --  nope
70/2.4   --  never
M6W      --  next year
R9       --  according to the life cycles of Leica models, 2005
R8.2     --  never
CL2      --  never
Date of your marriage --  sooner than you expect

and some answers to unasked questions:

M7       --  2002
R8 motor --  already build, already working, but shortage in parts     
             from Eumig or other submanufacturers.
