It can't possibly be true. There is not way Leica is going to reduce the magnification to accomodate the viewing angle of a 24mm lens. It my only be 4 mm different than a 28, but it's a significant difference in reality. The rumor of an M6-2 is just that, it's a rumor. But there is something like a CL-2 in development, but when it comes out, who knows? I've heard this Photokina and I've also heard the next one. And I doubt the film loading will be changed. It would compromise the sturdieness of the body, or it would have to be made bigger. No way to either I'm sure. Remember all the rumors of the Nikon F5? 13 frames per second, 1/500 flash sync, built in color meter (partially true), built in image stabalization, new lens mount? None of it was accurate. We will just have to wait and see. ========================= Eric Welch Grants Pass Daily Courier NPPA Region 11 JIB Chair (001) Logic Error CLINTON.SYS: Truth table missing
