I would be hyped to a new Leica screwmount!
I got hyped when I say that Nikon rangefinder introduction on the first page of
the Shutterbug this month.
Retro is OK with me especially if there is plenty of functionality involved!
functionality with style what more could you ask for?!
And bring back the old LOGO's!!!

And I don't see Hasselblad as having entered the 35mm rachet; that was Fuji the
way I think of it!
