He espied my DMR and 280/4 APO and came to have a chat. I noticed his M8 and said how disappointed I was with the shutter noise. He said he had a M8.2 and would I like to try it - very quiet. He was a really nice guy and committed to Leica and their cameras. We had a chat about future developments and said that the R10 is real and will be announced next fall. There will be an adapter in the meantime for using R lenses on the new S mount, but this will come later.
