Leica has just announced the M8.2, and upgrade to the M8 digital rangefinder camera, and four aspherical lenses. You can't afford them, but these sound like amazing lenses. 21/1.4, 24/1.4, 24/3.8, and 50/0.95! Yes, a new Noctilux! (Only 7300 Euro.) More info in German here:

Surely the new model is alluring but even if I had the money, I don't think I would invest so much money into a crop format rangefinder. Maybe if I found a RD-1 for a good price like Andy did, I would buy one. But spending much money on a new one.... I don't think so.
For me (I don't know about others) rangefinder is, when a 35mm lens is a 35mm lens.... it really is an instrument that for me, is much related to the traditional focal lenghts, conceptually.
Maybe it's a stupid reasoning to do, but that's how it feels for me.

Yes, you are right. A fortune on a crop sensor camera... jut too, too much. More, who have the money to spend on that kind of camera better buys a good second-hand Leica (or another M baionet camera , Bessa, Konica, Minolta ), on film and will have plenty money to spend it on film and processing. Regarding film photography the most importnat is the lens and film than camera.
Regarding the lenses I understand: they are of very good quality and very fast One could use a 50 ISO film which would have a high resolution and still won't have too much problem regarding the available light.
