Slightly off-topic for PDML, but I thought BobW, Cotty, and maybe a couple others might be interested.
--- This is a new take on the "M-mount digital camera" that I saw on Leica Rumors: https://pixii.fr. Rangefinder, manual focus and exposure, no LCD, 256G built-in memory only, WiFi connect for data transfer, etc. They don't list a sensor format and Mpixel yet, but rumor has it that it's an APS-C format with 12 to 16 Mpixels. Another information update is supposedly due soon. Could be a pretty neat camera if it pans out and gets produced. Kind of an updated, modernized take on the Ricoh GXR with M-mount camera unit fitted—the best non-Leica M-mount camera there's been so far. Of course, that was an EVF camera which meant it was more versatile lens-wise but its lifespan was tied to the quality of the EVF. This is an optical finder with a rangefinder, so you're limited to Leica M-mount lenses for focusing. One of these with a Pentax-L 43mm f/1.9 Limited would be pretty darn neat. :-) G — No matter where you go, there you are. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
