No of course not.  But if you were thinking of a second-hand wide-angle lens 
for your M the pricing now will probably be much better than after the 
digital M becomes available.  My experience over the last 35 years has been 
that if you want a particular piece of Leica equipment, buy it as soon as 
you think you might be able to afford it because the purchase price will 
soon jump out of reach.
