I'm not sure that there is a big market for it. I'd rather see Leica make at least a short run of the black minilux or the IIIg.

Steve, if you get a response please post it. I beleive Yasuhara wouldn't sell their last camera outside of Asia.

Anyone own or tried this camera? It looks good on paper. I like

the 28mm f3.5 lens and the relatively low price. Any other good,

cheap wide angle point and shoots? I'm not interested in spending

more than $200.

This would be back up/supplement to my M6 with 35, 50 and 90mm

lensnes.

Thanks.

In SLR's I'd look at the Bronica focal planes shutters. The S2A is the best by far IMO. The other Bronicas are cheaper but a lot less reliable. I like the Norita, but they don't have a great reputation for quality. Some people like the Kievs.

By "system" assume you aren't interested in a fixed lens TLR. If you are willing to accept that limitation, the Autocord is a nice cheap camera.

If cost is a real concern, I'd stick with 6x6. It's a more common, and cheaper, format to work with.
