Unfortunately (for me) it's in German!
Can anyone tell us what it says?
Not much, really...

It´s just the usual blurb about the skilled, dedicated designers and workers diligently producing tools for discerning & accomplished photographers....

It does, however, state that there will indeed be several new and important products revealed on /9/9/09, so now we got it from the horse´s mouth...

But no new details, and no glimpses (I assume that the dSLR shown is indeed the S2; I´m none too familiar with its looks...).

I don't speak German, but it appears to me that the new products will be a line of those tiny rectangular Euro-eyeglasses. If you think about it, there's really no need for eyeglass lenses bigger than a viewfinder.

Terrry,

You don't understand: Guy is too high-tech for typing, and his text generating software has a random there/their/they're function.

Groundbreaking...
A line of jackhammers?
I would be happy to see Leica dust-off their image and do some new stuff, but I have put my wallet in the safe deposit box and mailed the key to my mother.

Bob - you might as well ask for it back, otherwise you'll be busted for trying to break in to her house at around 9.30 on the 9th
