Subject: [Leica] What Leica will be showing at Photokina
From: Bill <m6rf@yahoo.com>

I am guessing that Leica will show two main things.

A) An M6 (or M7 or M whatever) with auto exposure, DX film coding,
and maybe an improved view finder.  It will most likely not be in
production, but they have to announce it or they will be dead in the
water.

B)  I am still betting on a medium format camera.  It may even have a
fixed lens.  And, most likely made by FUJI.

It is extremely important for Leica to show the industry and it's
customers that it is alive and well, and not on a "life support
system" and that it can compete in the marketplace.

Or, maybe they will spray paint some of the R8s gold and sell them as
collectables ;-)
