Folks -

The blurbs claim that the new K/M DSLR is supposed to have quite a good 
finder and onboard image stabilization.  It also has, I believe, a 
flange-to-film distance some 2.5mm closer than Leica reflex specs.

If the finder really looks good, and if the throat is wide enough to 
accomodate the bayonet tabs, it's conceivable that an adapter could be 
cobbled, and this could be a cool digibody for Leica reflex glass.

Anybody know what that Minolta AF mount looks like?

In any case it oughtta be pretty easy to mount the 400 Telyts with 
Visoflex mounts on the thing for a dedicated bird rig...
