M9 in 2010. Target price same as m8.2

[M like Leica M6]

I feel a lot safer in some neighborhoods with a traditional M body and my 85/2 chromed brass mounted Nikkor swinging on its strap from a couple of wraps around my wrist. People can sense by the way it swings to and fro that...well, they wouldn't want their temple to get in the way.

I wouldn't want to depend on a plastic digicam for that.

I didn't know the Second Amendment includes 35mm cameras. How is a Nikon F2 with a motordrive and a 100 feet film magazine rated?

Weapon of mass destruction? (At least you kill a lot of film with these...)

Someone at photo.net posted that the M9 will come later this year. He heard it from his local shop in Australia. Price US$8-9k...

Some people just baffle me.

So you didn't happen to read anything after that post refuting the claim? Posters with credibility have said right here in this thread that it simply is not true! Did you read any of that?

Let be rephrase - The M9 WILL NOT happen by the end of this year! Not only is this claim unverified, but it has been substantially shown by people of credibility to be completely false.

I just saw this thread and couldn't help smiling a bit..

Actually, Internet certainities always get overtaken by reality.....

Is this the beginning of the end for Leica?

Sir Issac Newton said it the best, "anything that goes up, must come down." Same is true for the slick Mercedes I like as well as the M9. A little patience.
