It's odd to me that AP seems to be the news breaker. I might expect that this latest statement for example, would more properly appear on an official Leica location first. No doubt the Leica forum will be abuzz on this. WE shall see whether this statement has any positive effect on M8 sales between now and Photokina. If Mr Lee was going to ramrod the 35mm sensor M to a Photokina release, bring him back, I say! Anyway, good detective work, George! Cheers Geoff -----Original Message----- Subject: [Leica] leica makes statement Statement from Leica Camera AG - 26/02/08 'Already, in the working hours since the departure of Steven Lee, the Leica product development team has begun to review the M system strategy. It is too early to say what changes will be made; however it is likely that the path may differ from the one set by Steven Lee. In any case, the M8 will continue to be our flagship camera into 2009. We can confirm that comments made during PMA regarding the possibility of an M8 upgrade to full frame were premature and we apologise if one of them gave a too optimistic outlook. It is true that it is the desire of Leica to consider full frame within the M system, however the final decision regarding the appropriate camera body configuration has yet to be made.' <http://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk/news/ Leica_issues_statement_on_M8_future_news_184829.html> Fond regards, George george@imagist.com www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog Picture A Week - www.imagist.com/paw_07 _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
