Subject: [Leica] Betting on the M9 FF

  Hi Richard,

  You're on for the first bet: the M9FF within the next year. As for 
the live LED viewfinder, Leica might play us along to the M10. So I 
can't bet on that one. In any case, I have a fresh roll of Tri-X 
waiting for you. Sorry it's my customary 24 exposure. When Leica goes 
into real production, the M9 should go for about $2K, with some 
promotions if we buy a lens or two. As I said, methinks the M8 is a 
great collector's model. Reminds me a little of the M5 or the velvet 
box, gold-plated presentation Leicas.

  The M7 and other M's will always be stalwarts for those of us who 
want the gilt-edge certificate of silver and THE Negative. There's no 
way of substituting digital for the real thing.

  Bob
