 Hi Richard,
 
 You're on for the first bet: the M9FF within the next year. As for the live 
LED viewfinder, Leica might play us along to the M10. So I can't bet on that 
one. In any case, I have a fresh roll of Tri-X waiting for you. Sorry it's 
my customary 24 exposure. When Leica goes into real production, the M9 
should go for about $2K, with some promotions if we buy a lens or two. As I 
said, methinks the M8 is a great collector's model. Reminds me a little of 
the M5 or the velvet box, gold-plated presentation Leicas. 
 
 The M7 and other M's will always be stalwarts for those of us who want the 
gilt-edge certificate of silver and THE Negative. There's no way of 
substituting digital for the real thing.
 
 Bob
