Interesting Comments on Apparent New "Leica M 240" photos

I think for their next digital M, Leica should learn from RD-1 that a manual shutter cocking "advance lever" would bring a flood of nostalgia and money out of the pockets of their potential customers.

All three of them?

I'm not sure that m9 owners want the M. to fail. What I do know is that the mechanical rangefinders accuracy is at it's limit in the M9. Leica are only too aware hence no 135 6 bit on M9 ( till M announced ) I for one don't want a Leica with lots of attachments to circumvent the problem of moving to higher pixel counts. I would like to bet my socks the next M340 or whatever will have the electronic screen built in replacing the mechanical R.F. & a focus confirmation dot ....erm .. Just like Lumix etc.

Which would make people buy the cheaper Lumix.... The word unlikely comes to mind. I'll PM you an address you can send your socks to. For one thing a camera without rangefinder can never be an M(esssucher) camera by definition.
