Does this signal a 

1)    new line of retro Leica lenses? 

2)    New line of retro Leica cameras?

3)    Minimalist future for Leica?

4)    Pants pocket Leica ?  

 

I find it hard to believe that the optical department has the time to fiddle
with redesigning a 60 year old lens..

 

The last time Leica went nuts on weird stuff not really associated with
state of the art cameras and optics they almost went bankrupt.is this a new,
bad omen?
