So, when the traveling Leica M9 class / show comes to town.... Do you think they will be willing to discuss this work of art / abomination with the students?

Actually, the M9 should have been presented this Photokina, but Leica gave it to us as as soon as they could. This is like you have been given a cookie warm from the oven and are complaining you didn't get a second one soon enough, instead of munching it.

I'm not really complaining: I don't have an M9 yet, so it's still new to me. In fact, I'm happy, as the M9 permitted the price drop on M8s such that I could afford one. So yay me.

But I think I'm seeing the frustration accurately. Leica has not been a relevant innovator in photography for a while. Last year, the M9, and to a lesser extent the X1, changed that. Suddenly, Leica is at the forefront again. But you don't stay there without continually showing some progress. This year, they didn't keep it up, they played it safe and quiet, and Fuji stole the show.
