It is confirmed that the Bessa-L is a Nikon FM-10 body. The market price will be 10% off the listed price but you must add another 5% for tax and shipping. In his own words "This is a regular product. You don't need to be in hurry!". Super wide Heliar 15/4.5 ASPH Silver or black. made by Cosina. 4.5 to 16 or 22 with helicoid INF to 0.4m Price is 65,000 yen with finder. Super wide skoper 25/4 Silver or black. made by Cosina. 4 to 16 or 22 with helicoid INF to 0.7m Click stop at INF,3m and 1m. Price is 45,000 yen with finder. Konica has made a M-mount Hexer 2. This will be offered with M-mount Hexanon 28/2.8, 35/2 and 60/1.2. Launch date is still TBD. Looks like finally Leica will be getting some competition on the M.
