Nothing to blog about afterwards. Except the announcement from Mr. K of Cosina to produce a Voigtlander Bessa R4a/R4m RF camera with 21/25/28/35/50 framelines (TomA and S. Gandy even proposed to drop the 50 framelines in favor of a 40). As usual, Mr. K did not choose the glaring lights of the photokina boothes for that, but a discrete hotel room, just with a few handpicked guests. Btw I find the idea of a strictly wide angle oriented rangefinder camera very consequent and fascinating. Leica has got another "not invented here" problem.
