    Here's an interesting patent... The Pentax list is rife with the =
rumor of an upcoming rangefinder camera. What's going on? Why all the =
rangefinder maddness recently?=20
    The diagram seems to show the familiar (to Pentax users) lens =
release on the left of the lens... so we could be seeing another =
interchangeable lens rangefinder out soon. Any comments on the design?
