Subject: [Leica] New 50mm Summilux M 1.4 ?

 I have decided to break my piggy bank in order to purchase a  50mm
Summicron M f/2 as it seems to me to have the overall best optical
performance of the M 50mm's despite average speed . I am slightly
hesitant, even though I appreciate the excellence of this lens, as I
somewhere caught a rumour of Leica launching a new 50mm Summilux M 1.4.
Can anyone substantiate this rumour? If so it might be worth the wait.

Thanks,
Eric
