Back to the usual every 2 years new development to catch up with Fuji and everyone else for what it's worth. Only 2 areas to be addressed is a self cleaning sensor which is at least 6 years over due and a redesign of the M series lens exit rays perpendicular to the sensor like the 4/3rds Olympus lens first introduced. That leaves only the twin edition Ted Grant model M240 & MM both with Serial # TG 001 & a red engraved Maple Leaf on the top plate. Maybe an additional matching M-E as uncle Ted always carried 3 M bodies. Also one Noctilux with the same TG 001 serial #. Hope the gnomes at Wetzlar are listening to this to get them done in time for April 24th show in NYC.
