How about the first zoom for M, now that it has EVF? Last year saw both the zoom lens for X Vario which is optically very good, and the S30-90, so there are some recent design experiences that could be applied for the M.

Would you be interested in, say a 28-70 on the M?

I still cannot see the point with a zoom. There are loads of adaptable zooms out there. You know how big and expensive a high quality zoom lens will be (just look at the R 35-70 f/2.8 or the R 28-90. It would obviously be a M lens without rangefinder coupling and without being usable with the OVF. Given these facts I am unable to see the point.

Just find yourself a nice 28-70mm Vario-Sonnar for the Contax RTS. It's compact and works beautifully on my 240. In fact it looks like it belongs. Such heresy.

As I understood it, an EVF.

 

:D

Could it be, that the conversation was at the very beginning of the month?

Got me alarmed for an instant, since I consider a change of the rangefinder for my M6 TTL.

'14, the year we finally will have a 14mm Super Elmar. :)

 

It would make sense because it could also work as an 18mm equivalent on a crop sensor, if that rumoured Leica T model with AF lenses and interchangeable lenses surfaces in 2014. 2014 means 100 years Leica FF cameras and 60 years M system: Leica should release something spectacular.
