A UK photo mag said this this to be probable. Leica, yes. It's called internally at Leica a CL2, but official name is unknown. Contax, rumor has it there is a G2 coming (follow up to the current G1.) There are persistent rumors one Japanese manufacturer of pro. 35mm cameras is coming out with a rangefinder. Whether it be Nikon, or some other (pretty sure it isn't Canon) I'm not sure, but I do know Nikon did some research, and for them to produce a pro. rangefinder camera to compete with a Leica, would end up costing more than an M6. (Leica's advantage is tools in place.) ================== Eric Welch Grants Pass Daily Courier NPPA Region 11 JIB Chair
