Leica do not think so, Steve!Does anybody seriously think Leica have exhausted the number of M9, M9-P and specials editions yet?
Steve
But Why?They will announce their new camera line which is below the M9. Adressing the smaller wallet. Something like the new Fuji X Pro 1. APS Sensor and Leica M mount....
IIRC a Leica big shot mentioned in an interview last year that they're indeed bringing a camera line below M series, something that can use M lenses (with or without an adapter?).But Why?
If they're already constrained with deliveries, especially for M lenses - why on earth would they produce something with necessarily less profit, which would increase demand for something they can't produce fast enough (M lenses).
Lets hope that it is not a re-badged Lumix DMC-GX-1....The date of the '10th' is a total coincidence and it is the announcement of the EVIL camera, a camera that Leica desperately need to release soon if they aren't going to be left further behind.

+1 for a B&W version of the M9.

Yes indeed - there was an interview in BJP about it. But it doesn't alter my point!IIRC a Leica big shot mentioned in an interview last year that they're indeed bringing a camera line below M series, something that can use M lenses (with or without an adapter?).
HI RickLets hope that it is not a re-badged Lumix DMC-GX-1.

HI GuyThe answer really to that question is have they moved into the new facilities yet and I am kicking myself since I can't remember the name of the town and I stayed there for several days.
Had to look it up Wetzlar
Although, a true B&W camera based on Panasonic's 16MP NMOS sensor (from the GH-2) would be just terrific!HI Rick
Let's hope not . . . I think they said that it would have at least an APSc sized sensor, so that kind of rules out Panasonic.
all the best
Hi ThereThis may be a bit off topic, but why is it that people often wish a true B&W sensor? What's there to be gained compared to a colour Bayer sensor and converting the images to B&W?
It's a tantalizing and interesting concept:I'd buy one, but no LCD means no way of inputting menu settings
