Reading the posts on the classic Titanium regarding the finish and durabilty, has anyone heard whether the new one will in anyway be different or improved, other than the leather and TTL?

Essentially the same, but without the ostrich as you indicated.

I believe there's a photo of the new Ti M6 at this web site. Since it's in a Japanese font that comes though as garble I can't read it to be sure, but the brown leather body half-way down looks like the "buffalo- hide" specification. My understanding is that it is the same plated Ti as before.

This site also shows pix of the new R 15 and R21-35 zoom.

Good shots. The R lenses look solid, as usual. I still maintain the 15mm-R is a white elephant if ever I saw one...Good as I expect it to be.
