You know, Cosina has done a great job with their Voigtlander lineup. Very nicely made, very nicely finished. Pentax should contract this job out to them. Get them to build some high-quality, retro Spotmatics with modern meters. Maybe in a couple of "collectable" finishes - a satiny silver, glossy black and a "special edition". Pentax gets milage out of the beloved Spotmatic name, for minimal investment. Cosina gets to sell more cameras (through Pentax's contract). Voigtlander can sell more screwmount lenses to fit the new Spotmatics. Shooters get nice new bodies to use all their glorious Pentax screw mount lenses on. Heck, Pentax could even release their limited lenses in screw-mount for this camera. Collectors get another camera to hoard and drool over. (Like the Leica O-serie or the Nikon S3 remake) Everybody wins! Michael Nosal [EMAIL PROTECTED] - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
