This apparantly is a medium format camera and poses no threat to Leica (unless.... there is some sort of clandestine connection between Leica and the "reborn" Alpa company... dum de dumm dum... ah haaa,, the Red Dot award becomes meaningful... why didnt I think of that??!!). Also it looks like a Zeiss lens so I expect that the images will be about what one could expect from a Contax MF. It also looks like a overly complicated dust collector as well as frightfully expensive.
