Hi All,
I was just looking at some info on Ikon camera and saw the SW model. It kinda slipped my mind that there is such a thing. My question is - why would one buy one? I know the easy answer - for super wide lenses and scale focusing. But really, cmon. If it sold at $200 - sure, but at over $900? At that rate I'd get a camera that has a coupled RF. And since one of the most selling features of the Ikon - it's super bright, better than Leica rangefinder - why would they make one with it's best feature missing? I mean it's $300 difference in price - why would anyone justify buying SW?
Maybe someone can explain this mistery to me.

if i had lots of money i would be tempted by this camera just to have a matching set and to put the new 21/4.5 on.
but i'd rather spend the $$ on the 50/1.5...

I wouldn't mind that 50/1.5 myself. As well as 85mm and 25mm ZMs. Well.....maybe one day.

the 25 is great and the 85 will never be more than a dream.
