He told me that there would soon be an M6 with AE, motor, fast shutter (basically, a Hexar RF) and the ability to work with or without batteries, like the new Nikon FM3a. I told him rumors of an M6e or M7 have been around for ages, but he told me he just heard this from a Leica rep. Makes me wonder if they wouldn't do the same thing for the camera that replaces the R6.2. Dan P.S. He also told me I should hold out for a Cosina 15 Heliar and 28/1.9 asph in "Bessa-T" mount (i.e., M bayonet). Makes sense! Hope it comes true.
