Mark, Leica has now clearly stated that there will be no announcement of a 'full frame' M at the next Photokina. Folks that need or desire a digital M can get the M8 or wait who knows how long for a POSSIBLE future model. An M in the hand is worth...etc. Cheers Geoff -----Original Message----- Subject: Re: [Leica] No M9 in the near future I did, because I wanted to start taking digital photographs with my Leica M lenses. It is not like a full-frame sensor will solve all problems. The variations in the position of the exit pupil of lenses will mean that the image quality in the corners will be compromised, and the will certainly be other compromises, too. My M8 at ISO640 and Summilux-ASPH 35mm takes far better photographs than my M6 with Noctilux, with ISO400 film. 'nuf said.
