Danny,

Thanks for the scoop on Bower/Adorama.  Who is Bower Optical?

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...
