This shutter is something very different than the M6 and previous shutters....or we got bum info..... This could be done with a Copal between the lens shutter.. remember the Leica Compur? IN fact that is a darned good idea.. put a BTL shutter in the camera instead of a focal plane shutter.....I like it! Different batteries? those impossile to find 123 batteries? Stay tuned..... Why PMA? If Leica's chief market is amateurs with $$$ , which is what we all guess, then PMA is just a rather strange place to announce a new camera... OTOH, the free advertising is pretty good......
