[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have now clarified this rumour by telephoning the Editor of said magazine who refered me to an article on page 5 concerning a new camera called 'Wica' which is a 'new specialist medium format camera featuring a unique orbital shift lens'. The camera takes Schneider wide angle lenses. The camera is made in Wetzlar (hence the headline) and will be at Photokina but has no connection with Leica (as far as is known). More details will be on the company website in September at www.wica-weltzlar.de. Hope that calms any excitement!

Looks like it is a definite though!
