[Leica] 50AA: What does it mean for film users?

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

It does seem rather obvious that optical technology is not standing still.
And the latest from Leica or any camera or lens company tends to be the
best.

Also sensor technology does not stay stagnate but develops greatly.
Erwin is saying the next step has the writing on the way.
A CMOS sensor for the next Leica M. he says its been no secret.

This will make it competitive with Canon/Nikon.
And with its better glass and rangefinder focusing Leica resumes its place
at the top of the heap. We'll see the Magnum people with them again and
other highly respected photographers.
