For all its worth,

Rumour # 1

The source: The Leica microscope installer (and R4 user) who used to live in
Wetzlar and whose brother-in-law is currently the neighbor of a Leica camera
designer there.  OK OK stop laughing, I am not making this up!

The rumour:  A consumer oriented digital SLR and an AE M rangefinder are
soon to be announced.

Rumour #2

Source: Camera salesman in Toronto.

The rumour: Leica is attempting to halt productino of Konica M bayonet by
suing (or threatening to sue) Konica.
