Subject: [Leica] Do you remember Yasuhara?

Hi, all.

Yasuhara T981 (Ichi-shiki, formula I) will be discontinued next month. (Some
more units will be made in black finish = future collectible ? ;-)) Mr.
Yasuhara has been announcing release of the next model (Ni-shiki, formula
II) for long, but its details have not been disclosed yet. I have been in
favour with him for his enthusiasm and endeavour in developing new
rangefinder cameras but now am not very optimistic about his competitiveness
against new-comers.  In fact, there will be no "fever" with the Ni-shiki,
and a very limited number of people will buy it. I for one hope he will
produce "something different", though.
