Why? to get some miniscule ( compared to Digital SLR) market share? Seems not worthwhile. Free advertising ( new Coke?) I go back to stating the obvious.... it is a Japanese market decision, that no matter how hard I try, I can not fathom. They do have the money to blow on this market.... And irrational passion could have gotten the ball rolling. Is there an MBA school in Japan? Where are the MBAs when you really need them? Profits? Tooling up a completely new all mechanical camera for a few thousand units? It would be years till they turned break even, if they sold tons of these things. I don't think so..... NDRF? Maybe, possibly. Market size is small, comparatively. Equally fanatical Leica owners would need to get new lenses, or the (fabled) adapter. As dumb to me as LTM lenses from CV. New Coke? To me, most likely. Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net
