[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]The BIG question regarding the digital M is...what is Zeiss up to? My assumption is that the film body - that has yet to appear, right? - is just a place holder for a Zeiss M-mount digital rangefinder. Zeiss's introducing a film M clone and lenses at this point otherwise makes virtually no sense from a business standpoint. And if I'm correct, the question then is will the ZDM or the LDM appear first?
