Hier ein Zitat eines neulichen Interviews mit Hr. Kaufmann vom Mai, 2008

PopPhoto: In testing the Leica M8, I found its performance to be outstanding at ISO 320 and very good at ISO 640, but with noticeable noise at ISO 1250. Many late-model DSLRs from other leading makers now claim to deliver topnotch performance in the ISO 1600-3200 range. Will Leica do anything to provide enhanced performance at higher ISOs in a future M model?
Kaufmann: The fundamental concept of the Leica M is delivering the pure image captured by the lens, and this is not possible if you adopt the philosophy of using extensive software to massage an imperfect image. When you take such images and drill down into them, you may find certain things you don't like. We are committed to enhancing the performance of all Leica cameras at higher ISOs, but we will do so very gradually.
Basically we provide Leica M photographers with professional caliber low-light performance the traditional Leica way, with our outstanding line of f/2 Summicron and f/1.4 Summilux lenses and the f/1.0 Noctilux. And there will be more to come!
Schoen zu lesen, dass es bald mehr M-Objektive geben wird, aber die Begruendung finde ich typisch "Leica". Nach dem Motto, weil wir nicht gut sind rauschfreie Sensoren zu (einzu)-bauen, muessen wir halt bessere Objektive herstellen...etwas seltsam.
Na dann,....Gruss L.
