Well, that doesn't mean

Well, that doesn't mean much. The M7 is their new film-based offering,
and it supercedes the M6 in several areas.
Boz,
I guess you aren't a Leica shooter.
For anyone interested in an affordable entry into the Leica
rangefinder experience, my Leica IIIc/IIIf outfit (with 50mm f/2
Summitar) is still for sale. It's far more cumbersome to use
(separate rangefinder/viewfinder, knob wind, etc.) than the Leica M
series, but it is smaller ... E-mail for

The M7 only works on two shutter speeds unless it has batteries. Very
un-Leica-like. Also, Leica requires just slightly less than the cost of an
MZ-S to add aperture-priority AE to their camera. This is not seen as a bad
thing by some
P.S. I propose a new division of terms for this discussion:
P-DSLR: Any old Pentax Digital Single Lens Reflex, even, or especially, a
crappy cheapo cynical rushed-to-market cobbled-up little 3-mp mass-market
sensor jobbie that'll have us all moaning and groaning and venting;
PDMLDSLR

6-mp version promised for the not-too-distant
The only thing I'm certain of is this:
They'll be cameras designed for enthusiasts and snapshots.
Anything pro-grade will be a sideline to the main direction of Pentax.

Other than Pentax , no one knows what Pentax will show at PMA. We can

that the rumored DSLR along with the new compact digitals will be
shown. We can dream and pray that the long rumored film flagship will
