[Leica] Re: B&W only version of M8 - anyone else hear this?

Did he forget to add.... at what price point?

Marketing parameters on anything include price.  Without the price point you 
have no data.  Further, ask the audience for a non
refundable deposit.... THEN you get to the truth.....

I was on vacation when the M8 was announced so I did not get the initial 
data points......... What price is expected/announced?

To be more specific, at last year's LHSA in SF, Stefan, from Leica,  
after describing the then as yet unnamed M8, asked the audience how  
many would buy a mono-chrome only version with 3x the resolution, if  
that were to be produced.  Dumbfounded, half the audience raised  
their hands.  That was a year ago, so I would imagine that the  
Wetzlar LHSA attendees got much more detailed info in the last few days.
