I also checked that. Same lenses. But they fixed some of the data tables. The correct model number appears for the Summarit 35mm and the maximum aperture of the WATE is no longer 1.0. Carl Bretteville tells me that the meta data handling is unchanged.For those interested, took a brief look through the lens codes in the new firmware; I can't see any sign of any new codes, so no new M lenses this time round.

S'truth!!The AWB really is quite good now! They went from being among the worst to among the best. It's better than the Canons I've used, although they may have improved the last few years as well.
at first i didn't understand why you said this yesterday until i visited the site this morning. ERGH! there ought to be a law against using adobe Flash the way they did! the episodes are so Corny. you want to know what was really in Alex's girl friend's mind? she thought: what, a c-lux 2? you going cheap on me now??? what happened to the M8, and WHERE's the diamond ring?AWB is now somewhere between fine and great.
I am completely peeved at Leica's marketing department.
The new web site annoyed me so much I wanted to throw one of my M8s at it (the one that can't tell time).
