What improvements for the Monochrome II and III? Ask Leica. 

Our digital cameras are like computers waiting to be outdated. The 
Monochrome is no exception.

Its exceptionality is its price, however. Whereas computers don't become 
ever more expensive, Leicas do. One need only look at the increase in price 
from the M8 to the M9 to observe that. The M10 and the M11 will continue 
that trend.

I wouldn't buy entry anything in the digital world. Things only get better, 
and that occurs relatively fast. 

Once improved, digital things however become quickly dated. Leicas are no 
excpetion to this. 

As I noted in my first posting, Fuji or Olympus may soon produce an even 
better Monochrome--maybe even for 1/5 the price of a Leica.

IMHO Leica is treating the market as a cash cow.

Cheers--Doug
