I actually know the head folks in Leica Australia personally too but they sure won't ever leak on new product announcements. Quite rightly so too. I do believe that a (real?) photo has leaked now on a rumour site though? I suspected that people were reading way too much into the teaser ads, myself. Based on past public info I doubt that they would have any capacity or desire for a new interchangeable AF lens range myself nor would a cheaper "M" make sense for them. I think the reasoning behind having a cheaper smaller M is flawed in any case. *Breathe in, breathe out, move on* -- Jimmy Buffett Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman On 29 May 2013 00:00, Richard Taylor <r.s.taylor at comcast.net> wrote: > No hints from your dealer, then?
