Subject: [Leica] In Search of a Rumor -- 50mm

This is a question for people who seem to be in touch with Leica rumors or
have a good enough relationship with their regional Leica representative to
ferret some information.

It seems that all M series lenses have been up-graded recently except the
fifties.  Does anyone have information regarding an up-grade of the 50mm
Summilux?  Is it anticipated?  I recall someone quoting someone that at
least one of the fifties had been re-designed, but that the price point for
bringing it to market would exceed most people's willingness to pay.  Any
thoughts?
