(Some more units will be made in black finish = future collectible ? ;-)) Mr. Yasuhara has been announcing release of the next model (Ni-shiki, formula II) for long, but its details have not been disclosed yet. I have been in favour with him for his enthusiasm and endeavour in developing new rangefinder cameras but now am not very optimistic about his competitiveness against new-comers. In fact, there will be no "fever" with the Ni-shiki, and a very limited number of people will buy it. I for one hope he will produce "something different", though. http://www.yasuhara.co.jp/index.html Cheers, MIKIRO http://arbos.silva.net
