Bill,

If you're right, I hope it will not push Leica to make a
deal with Konica.
I mean a M7 based on the Konica RF.
That will be the end in my opinion.

We need a new M which will be in phase with the years 2000 
like the M3 was in line with the end of the 50s.
Not a rebadged Konica RF which in itself is only a clone of
the Leica M,
but with a poor viewfinder and a noisy motor/shutter combination.
