I heard that the 24 would be a Cron, not a Lux and the 18 will be an Elmar. Noctilux may be canned as it was a personal project of the last CEO, so it may not see the light of day.

Just throw a FF sensor into the M8 will make most of us happy.

Think of it this way. It might be a good chance to sort out the cyan drift, and all the purple black issues.

No need to code and I get all the original DOF like on the film M. Not to mention all the sweet Zeiss , Konica and Voigtlanders I get to use without any headache..

Easily done and probably all they need to do is change the top plate and label it as M8-2 or M9 to distinguish it. No major redesign needed.

all i ask for in the interim is a firmware update where i am able to input the focal length of the lens mounted manually.

so as to not complicate the image processing and to differentiate from actual 6-bit coded lenses, they can not do the vignette adjustments etc on non-coded lenses, but just write the focal length info into the exif data.

Most likely there will be new lenses (Wider angle), R10 and an upgrade to M8 for sure at PhotoKina
