What next? A 200mm medical micro with ring flash for the M? How about a new compact camera with built in soft focus lens? I'm usually firmly in the "Leica defender" camp, but this is a pretty strange introduction. The only saving grace would be a price in the 600-900 USD range, If they bring in a 35mm F2.8 at the same price they would have a great Leica intro price kit.
