It would make the cover of Time if it did not. "bizarre retro device of the future of the year" It most certainly will also have P. And advanced Matrix of the third kind. Welcome to the real world. So we can get totally mindless with our Leica M glass after all these years in Program mode. Drink all the red dot single malt scotch we want and go out snapping. Then hook it up to your laptops and go on autopilot. Friends donšt let friends Photoshop plastered. What else would it have? TTL flash if not a flash built in. A feature I used to cringe about and consider the sign of the amateur dilettante. Now it just puts a smile on my face. No the digital M is going to be high tech not just on the charge coupled device end. They are doing this to make money and stay in the game. And of course if they donšt Minolta or someone else Will and soon. Cosina, Konica.
