Somebody had mentioned an optical company in Yokohama making M-compatible lenses---they might be the Kobalux mfrs? The Hexar I saw last week was tagged at 93,000 yen (US$ 745). I haven't seen anything in the Japanese consumer photo mags about a 50mm-ish Hexar, though now that you mention it I guess I've heard a rumor somewhere or other. I'll let y'all know if I see anything...
