[Leica] Stephen Gandy took down the Epson R-D1 info!

[LeicaNikon at earthlink.net (Stephen Gandy)]

don't quit your day job yet Sam.

there isn't going to be a Cosina digital, or a Voigtlander digital
but there is going to be a Epson Digital M rangefinder, available May /
June.

strangely enough, apparently Epson is marketing the camera itself, even
though they have never sold one M camera before.  how well they start from
scratch will have a lot to do with the camera's success.  the mind boggles
on what MIGHT be done with merchandising, but to me its a waste of time to
speculate.    time will tell.

in other words, plans are for the Epson digital M not be sold thru Cosina
Voigtlander.   As the page was on Voigtlander at PMA, I removed the Epson.
