In that case this may be something different again. What I have
described is what supposedly will show up at PMA.
One thing that going to CNC production of the top plate has done is
allow Leica to make many variations relatively easily, so we may see
an even greater variety of regular, and special edition Leicas.
Collectors will be in heaven!
Maybe we'll be able to go down to our local dealer, and order _just_
the Leica we want: Make mine a black paint 0.58 M7 without TTL and
lower top plate height and old style shutter dial and an M3 style
wind lever but new rewind, and make that low-fat with two shots!
