No. I eat crow. It will be like the M6 Classic, with mechanical
shutter and Classic profile, but it will have the M3/M2 style wind
and rewind, but there will be a little flip up thingie for rewinding.
It will available in various viewfinder magnifications and will be
call the MP6 and will come with the new Leicavit. Not a limited
series. Price???? Need you ask??? Can you afford a Canon 1Ds???
