I still think it would be cool if Minolta would produce a semi-pro type manual-focus, interchangeable lens (Leica M mount, please) rangefinder body with modern electronics: manual/AE operation & TTL flash metering. Of course, they would have to offer a line of lenses -- say 20mm through 100mm. Priced at say $600-$800 for a body and most lenses at $600 or less I think they would have a winner. Of course, they'd probably lose their shirt on it but hey, it would be cool, wouldn't it? Bob (only from the mind of) McEowen
