Something never made before.

...a bottom loader!

Well-known
A 21st century Barnack: small, compact, lean, mean. Pocketable with those 50/3.5 Elmars and Industars. Like a IIIc/f/g, with good viewfinder and light meter.

So, Stephen, when are you going to be able to TELL us what Mr. K will put out of his magic bag? Considering that everyone else is pre-releasing their announcements as part of the Photokina run-up, surely Cosina isn't going to keep the lid on their can o' beans right up until Photokina actually opens...?

So what happened at Photokina

I read somewhere that Cosina didn't even have a booth at Photokina. What happened?

Wow, I didn't know that Voigtlander was that serious about keeping their products away from prying public eyes. Good grief!

Private Room?
Private Room?
I presume the private room is Mr. Kobayashi's. Doesn't appear that there's anything new. Perhaps we'll hear of some future plans of how Cosina might parle the work with Epson and Zeiss into some new products.

...and historically most of Cosina's business has been in OEM products under other makers' names, for instance Epson, and in the past many of the major camera names. So I guess for Cosina Photokina is an opportunity to "network" with other company execs, moreso than a public showing.

Mention in the news forum of an R4A and R4M but no details yet. Independent source is http://www.mainlinephoto.com.au/

For anyone too impatient to click the link:
---------------------------------
Five years ago Tom Abrahammsson of Rapidwinder fame asked Mr. K for the impossible, a revolutionary rangefinder M camera with 21, 25, 28, 35, and 50 framelines.
Mr. K showed that camera to myself and Tom behind the scenes at Photokina, but it is not on public display. Two versions, mechanical shutter with the display of the R3M, or aperture priority electronic shutter with the display of the R3A. The RF/VF is super bright and easy to see.
The finder is HIGH EYEPOINT! I can easily see the 21 frameline even wearing glasses! These are unique revolutionary RF cameras, the only such RF cameras ever made.
Finder magnification .52x. Manually selected 3 position frameline selector. The R4M will be made in classic black paint, the same as the 250 R3M sets. The R4A will be made in a new smooth black matt paint finish.
Price not set, but slightly higher than the R3A due to the added complexity of the new wide angle finder. Expected delivery April 2007.
Mr. K continues to amaze. The M8 is getting all the press, but it was 2nd. These cameras are unique in the RF world. Bessa wide / R3 set will cover all the framelines from 21 to 90 without auxiliary viewfinders -- not a bad idea at all! Pics and more details once I am back in Los Angeles.
Please feel free to post this info on other photo forums.
