I would be very very interested in a more sensitive,
higher-dynamic-range, somewhat higher-resolution dedicated B&W digital
M body.  I'd try very very hard to find the money for it.  I've long been
interested in that notion.

I can't help but assume that Leica assume there aren't enough of us who
would want such a thing to fund putting it into production, but still...
that'd be super-cool.

Even though it might only appeal to old farts.  You know, those of us who
habitually still do hopelessly retro things like wear wristwatches.  But
then, part of Leica's business model is making state-of-the-art buggy
whips for us.  So who knows?
