Ken. I have talked with Mr Kobyashi of Cosina about the idea for a 1:1 
finder. He is mulling over the technical difficulties and estethics of the 
camera body for that. He was the one who said " Yes, it is possible to do one 
for the 50 frame, but I also think that one for the 35 frame would be nice!". 
I think the term. 35 1:1 finder "being nice" is a great understatement. I for 
one would get a couple of those bodies as soon as they were made available! 
Can you imagine a high speed 35/1,4 ASPH on a body with a 1:1 finder! I would 
not care if there were any other frames available. It would be a dedicated 
body. In the meantime I am having a great deal of fun shooting with my 
Bessa-T and the 28/1,9 and the 21/4. I will post my information on this stuff 
on the 15/3 as there is a "Official Release" date on this stuff.
 Have to go out and finish an other 5-6 rolls of Fuji ACROS while there still 
is light.
All the best,
Tom A
