Konica has never really put much corporate support behind the Hexar RF.
Maybe when Minolta becomes a division of Konica (you can call it a merger
but Konica has the deep pockets here), there will be a new RF product
developed by Minolta photo.  That is unless Cosina has blown all the Leica
wanna-be's out of the water.
