M9 M9 M9 M9 M9

Jaapv ... com'on .... surely you see the virtue in a film M9. The signal that film is here to stay, along side Digital, that would be a marvelous boost. We can make if FF and all rejoice about the full use of the image circle etc. :)
Imagine how the press would give coverage to the boldness of Leica! And there is always a way to slowly increment. I for one will likely buy a Zeiss Ikon in two months rather than the M7 - simply due to the way the auto iso nags you. I'd love to see that gone.
I have also read of the slow wake ups from sleep and some other small imperfections.

This may be a wild one but I have always thought that the perfect marriage of the old and traditional as it pertains to rangefinders (in both analogue and digital) would be to still use the rangefinder for focus but to not have the classic frame lines. If you take the aproach that Nikon has implemented with the focus points on the D700, D3 and D300 where the l.e.d's are projected - I wonder if that could not be imlemented. Frame lines, one at a time only ... but with the ability to exactly match the lens mated.
Could it work? ... or am I drinking too much beer? :)


Hmmm The M8 has auto-iso, the MP not..
Wakeup time is 0.7 secs. I cannot focus that fast ;)
 
No, I meant the auto iso sensor .... aaargh ... what am I trying to say.
Ya know ... the dang doo-hickey that senses the film canister and blinks you to death if you set your film other than rated speed.
