Cosina/Voigtl�nder in association with Epson is going to produce a digital body with mechanical shutter cocking, (using the film advance lever), that accepts Leica S mount lenses.
If this sells I'm sure that we'll see one from the same people with M mount lenses.
Cosina has just released a modern M42 camera, I'm taking bets now. Anyone think a
digital M42 body might appear if the rangefinders find a market? Shutter cocked
by the "film advance" lever!!!!
(If that sells what's next Clasic K Mount???)

Hey, what a great idea, crank the film advance to recharge the battery enough
for one shot. Crank the rewind nob, (a lot), to recharge the battery for
many shots. I knew someone would think of that... (or it could just be cosmetics
to make Luddites happier).
