That makes certain just emerging rumours even more intriguing or credible. >From Solms prior to a change of management, 10 new lenses to be released in 2008. The new Nocti is the real deal. Seems like the 2 new 24s are too. Check the Leica website Monday-ish, depending where you live. I hope that there's an 18 in there somewhere.

He did confirm the M8.2 and said that it had the new shutter which is as quiet as the M6, also a new view finder with slightly more magnification to make the bright frames more accurate. Other than that and the fact that there will be some new P&S cameras coming from panaleica he would say nothing more, fact is on pain of legal action he could say nothing more. So we'll have to wait to see what the "big surprise" is. NF _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
