Cosina Voigtlander was my first thought -- it's a natural next step for
them. Canon would have no reason to do this that I can see.  Didn't CV have
something to do with the Epson digital rangefinder?

If it really comes with that 35/1.2 lens... The combo will cost a little
under $3000 I predict. Like $2800. CV is all about pricing. The camera alone
$1995, like the Sony A850.

Them's my predictins, if CV really does release a rangefinder.

The other possibility is that wit will not be full frame, which will bring
down the cost even further.
