[Leica] New Leica M Stuff

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

For sure the last thing Leica is ever going to do is come out with a cropped
camera for Leica full frame glass. I'm afraid the only person bringing this
up is Richard M.
The very sensor it ever had made it was for the R8 digital back they very
much wanted to be full frame and that's when every few people were shooting
full frame. Only after great duress a year later  did then acquiesce to
using a cropped format.
They're not looking back.
They're not going to be putting out glass like they are doing and make a
camera to shoot through only the center of it.
