And
Some P+S new bodies and cameras
Silver finishes on a bunch of already announced lenses (new SKU = new 
product syndrome)
A rebadged S body
F2.4 versions of the Summarit lineup at more $$$ each
Some Leather cases seemingly a rehash of the old Benser concepts

And an amazing spin story about the CEO of Leica telling the world how the 
Japanese concept of introducing a new model every 6 months is anti-consumer 
friendly. 

Overall, to me, a non-new product cycle. 

Introducing an M4 is not what I consider new(s) worthy... Especially at 
$4750.  Buy my M4-2 and save $3k +++++......

An all mechanical M (like a hybrid of the M2/M4) made at Wetzlar again, in 
luscious black or chrome;

and

A totally minimalist digital M without any display screen on the back (no 
menus) and just the most basic controls, in stainless steel.
