I spoke to a representative from Zeiss at Photokina about a possible Digital Ikon. He said that they did explore the possibility, but that they would end up having to charge what Leica does for the M8 (more expensive to peoduce than they thought). Zeiss felt they couldn't be competitive enough to make inroads into the market and ulitimately, decided that they are much happier just making lenses to go on Leica digital M cameras.

HI David

It doesn't surprise me a bit - thinking of how much the R-D1 cost from Epson.

I'm confused, how come an M9 is categorised as a DSLR. Surely it is a DRF.

 

Given that it's the only one currently in production, many places lump the M8 in with DSLRs when categorizing. Think flickr does (or used to) and have seen a number of shops that aren't primarily Leica shops do so.
