The implication - of it's true - being that the line about precision and AF being used on the factory tour now *is* commercial smoke & mirrors. I wonder if this means that the collaborator is Kyocera? And I know what you mean about the new Contax 645, I'm more impressed each time I try it. If I hadn't spent *way* too much money on 5x4 this year I could be tempted.
