Digital Leica M8 / M8.2 / M9 / M-E /Mono / M10 aka "M" Discussions about the Leica M8 /M 8.2 / M9 / M9-P/ M-E / M Monochrom / M10 aka "M": Leica digital M mount rangefinder cameras. Naming the new digital M the "Leica M" is VERY unfortunate as it will only confuse newbies with other Leica M cameras of the the past. Happily there is room for confusion with only the past 59 years of Leica M production ... since Leica introduced the Leica M system in 1953. All Hail for the Leica Marketing Department learning Leica M history!

If you haven't seen it yet, do take a look at this article in the Financial Times on Leitz's complicated relationship with the Nazis during WW II:

Yeah, I picked it few days ago through photo.net leica forum link, indeed touching.
I wonder Israel haven't yet awarded Leitz family the Righteous Among the Nations status: http://www1.yadvashem.org/righteous/...righteous.html
