Any chance of an MP-style M(240)?

Hi, is anyone apart from me waiting for Leica to make an MP-style M, without the red dot, and with the word Leica in script on the top plate? Prices being what they are, it will probably be my last Leica, so I want it to be one that I like the looks of, as well as being the camera it is.

I sort of hope they don't, just because I find the perpetual upgrade impetus wearisome, especially when it's driven by cosmetics rather than function..It's as if digital cameras didn't have short enough life-cycles as it is.

 

Mind you, it will look once no doubt.:)

I don't object to the "M" on the front of the M240, but Leica could have used a smaller red dot logo - or made the dot black rather than red.

 

Not a chance, Leica aims at rich people who buy the leica for show, they want the red dot to be as big as possible...

Or a couple of minutes' work with modelling paint and a fine brush...

 

But then I'd have to find and buy modeling paint and a fine brush, then stop being lazy, then hope it comes out perfectly.

 

Nah, easier for me to send a check.
