Lucien: if that is true, I wonder why Leica has announced these new items at past September Photokina. It is unreasonable and even dangerous to do so. People will, of course, stay off current comparable items until the new ones appear on the market. It is not a very serious business practice to announce things and to wait for another year to deliver, at least in the photo business. In software it is, unfortunately, quite different (look at what Microsoft is doing).
