Subject: Vs: [Leica] Rangefinder Whiteout Problem - The Answer from Leica

What´s the discrepancy? He received some information - and got to try a sample M7 - but had to agree not to publish it before a certain date. This is not so unusual. I´m sure other journalists get much the same treatment - at least Pop Photo has admitted as much.
All the best!
