Just wondering how many people in this forum are going to Photokina at Germany this September?

I'll be there. I can't wait to try the 6 megapixel Leica R8D.

Dear Dave Casman, Wow, an R8D, that sounds incredible. The only introduction I had hear about from Leica was the M7D (the long awaited digital body) and the new, limited edition, adjustable Bokeh lenses for the R Series. Also heard through the grapevine that the R lensemount has been licensed to Hassleblad for their new digital body. Keep us informed, Dave.Kirk

I'll make the trip from Heidelberg. Some insider info says there will be some more new stuff from our friends in Solms.

Let us know as soon as you get your hands on a new 75mm Tele-Elmarit collapsable. Also I have heard rumors that there may be a 1.25x vewfinder eyepiece magnifier for the M6/M7, though actual production/availability dates are unavailable.

If you don't have a hotel room yet, then I wouldn't plan on being any closer than Duesseldorf!!! I couldn't find a room already in January. All things considered, Duesseldorf is not that far anyway.
