Cossina cranks out a retro-range finder camera, why Olympus doesn't take
advantage of re-introducing some of the older OM cameras and lenses seizes
to amaze me.
By now many of you have read that Cossina has produced a reproduction
Voigtlander Bessa-R range finder camera with interchange-able lenses with
X-sync up to 125th of a second.
The suggested retail price is $1,200.00 but can be found in the $500.00
range It compares to the Leica CL . It uses an SPD metering cell and
provides center weighted metering.
It has a metal focal plane metering system. Overall received good reviews.
Why Olympus ignores it's strong following of loyal users amazes me, I'll
give them credit, they did come out with the OM-2000, but come one!, Can
Olympus executives be that stubborn? The proof is in the pudding......
