We know it's now "special M7" covered with the finest toe hair of the Bhutan pikas as hand picked by Himalayan virgins. Otherwise, E. probably would not have mentioned it. So as Mr. Puts put it, M7 is "Close to Perfection," and whatever superlative MP is, if this is indeed a new M that is in some ways, improvements to the existing Ms, what features would it have? Remember that progress at Solm moves glacially, so there probably will not be drastic changes like new loading system or different shutter with faster (sync) top speeds etc. My guess: - Step to digital. May be they will introduce a new mount that is backward compatible w/ the M, and or the back is made so that it can be mated with a Digital-Modul-M in two years. - higher mag. VF, 1.0 Baby! - no-flare RF, again, and this time, they get it even more right! ....? // richard (This email is for mailing lists. To reach me directly, please use richard at imagecraft.com)
