Leica is in the black. It's a complete dramatization of course but you get my point. But from a semantical position it feels early for me for them to come out with an M10. And that's an awfully round number. as in right before I take my socks off. I think all that's needed is a sensor upgrade and an M9.5 Or an M9.s - - from my iRabs.
