Hello all,
I just stumbled over an interesting link:

http://www.k-repair.net/topic/topic_rollei6000AF.html

http://www.komamura.co.jp/press/img/35rf03.jpg

It seems that Rollei decided to produce a modified Bessa R2. Obviously two
new ZEISS lenses are being introduced as well! It was during WWII when 
Zeiss build lenses for Leica RF cameras for the last time (if you disregard
the 250 Hologons in the 70ies). A 40 and a 80mm lens are somewhat strange,
but maybe there is more to come? After all, Zeiss has already developed the
Contax line of rangefinder lenses. I guess it would be easy to offer them in a
Leica M mount. 
Regards,
Alex
