I would propose 21, 25, and 28 lines. If you're going to use it for wide
angle lenses, that would do it for me.

Most releases were presented before the photokina or in the first two days.
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.
