Although several years ago, they came close to making one with prototypes based on the old R chassis. They will make an AE version of the M6. They will not reinvent the wheel, merely modify it. Can't give any more details. We'll all know for sure at the next Photokina. Herr Cohn has also said several times that Leica plans a family of M cameras. This implies more than one! Things will become very interesting if the company can hang in there into the next millennium! Keep the faith, Bill Rosauer
