It does not in any way suggest that there won't continue to be refinements to the M6 - and, if you think about it, "refinements" could ultimately include a new shutter, a much higher top shutter speed, higher flash sync, even some sort of electronic focusing "aid." And I am not suggesting that these refinements be made, or that I want to see them. All the statement really seems to suggest is that we aren't going to see a G2/Konica from Leica. B. D.
