Perhaps it is good to add that the picture is merely an artist's
impression of what they think or know Konica is doing. The drawing
includes a bayonet mount, but it does not say proprietary or what.
What again was the story about the Leica bayonet? Is it still
protected?

Konica did make a limited release of their 35/2 Hexar lens  in LTM a year or 
so ago, so maybe their affinity is with Leica? To the extent that they may 
wish to acquire some of the prestige associated with the product...
