Folks,
I thought this might be of some interest to a few of us. Shin Yasuhara wrote to inform me of their current state of production.

As for the T981 camera, we have already stopped to produce
and we are now keeping only one hundret pieces as stock.

In the first time, we were plannning to export some amount of T981.
But, in this time, I think it is better not to export this camera.
Indeed, this camera had a great influence on the Japanese camera
makers and, as you know, some makers have faked this camera.
But, as for the technical achievement, we know there are many things
to be left.     

The total production amount of this camera is about 4000 pieces
and my first project has finished.
We are now developping the next camera.
(Everything about this camera is secret,
except the code name "T012")
