The head of high-end camera maker Leica, which has been having a bit of a difficult transition into the digital world, has been sacked, portending further delays for a new entry in the company’s M series. CEO Steven K. Lee presided over several current blunders at Leica, most notably the introduction of the glitch-prone M8.

Translation: Don’t hold your breath for that anticipated full-frame M9.
