Riskier even than getting a new 8. I think a great idea for Leica would be as an antithesis to the 8 come out with a compact body for its lenses. Perhaps one with an integrated built in winder on the side as is getting so popular and usefull. A Camera for the masses. That way we can carry around a macro with our M's. I think they could pull that off. Perhaps with some help from Minolta. I won't tell. It would help turnover that glass which is just sitting there. Mark Rabiner
