OK. The m9 monochrome is interesting but not my cuppa. 
I thought there was a typo on the new 50AA price.   Guess not.   Can't get 
too interested in a lens that costs 1/3 of my car. 

But deep into the press releases was an announcement about an adapter from 
Hassy H to S2. I dotted have an S2, and unless I hit the lottery......
But this adapter is the first that keeps the complete functionality of the 
lens on a foreign body. AE,AF, iris, etc. all done electronically.  I 
claimedthis could be done several years ago and for the first. Time it is 
reality. 
I have no idea of cost. However full kudos to Leica for a) acknowledge who 
your major competitor is b)technically finding a creative solution and (c 
actually offering the product for sale
