Indeed...waiting to see if somebody steps up to the (crazy-bleeping-expensive) plate for this one.

Good spot !

That concept could have worked .. it has a no-nonsense look to it, but I'm glad they played it safe with the mechanical M6 we all know.

Not so sure about the M5/CL like paddle.
However the collapsable lens hood on the 28mm is nice.

If they had chosen that route 20 years ago a DMR like M digital back could have been out a couple of years earlier.

A bit expensive for us mortals at > $36K

Wait, is that lever below the Film Advance a metering switcher? As in between Spot Metering and (possibly?) Centerweighted Metering?

Crazy if ture, and that meter-on-a-stick looks pretty cumbersome as is...

It looks very heavy... I think it would have needed an extra grip, because the centerpoint of all that weight would have been in a hard to one-handedly handle spot.

You must be kidding...the new owner will NOT use it!! 😕

I'd bid but the camera isn't wrapped in plastic so it doesn't have as much value. I'll wait for one that is wrapped and bid then.

ROTFLMAO .. never/not etc

That thing is a motor drive Minolta CLE...slightly bigger and with the right name...
