The 50/2,4 Hexar and the rarer 35/2 in screw mount. I cant see why they would not make it compatible with the M-focussing cam. It would increase their market and having a M-compatible focussing roller in the body would not compromise the 'auto focus" or focus confirmation system. The prototype I saw a year ago had a regular rangefinder patch in it but I was told that the production model would most likely have a focus confirmation system and when I asked if the Hexar lenses would fit the M's and vice versa I did not get a direct yes, but some subtle nods of 'probably" instead. The 60/1,2 would be interesting a nice midrange between the Nocti and the 75/1,4. Tom A
