Pros w. close ties to Leica have field tested these . I was told (third hand, so I may be completely wrong) that it is a cloth mechanical shutter, higher X sync (which may bring with it certain disadvantages), with shutter speeds set by electromagnetically controlled release of the second curtain. The overall shape remains the same. Wait a few weeks and you'll know. FWIW, a well know dealer is already taking advance orders. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
