Originally posted by martin42mm Not convinced about the longevity of a mechanical Cosina, unless they improve on their previous efforts. But that would mean more expensive, and defeat the object...
Cosina produced a series of high quality 35mm rangefinder and SLRs with
their Cosina Voigtlander Bessa line discontinued only a few years ago,
prior to renewed interest in film by a new generation of photographers.
Mid-priced when still available new, prices on all models in the line have
risen dramatically in the used market, a testament to their high quality.
Cosina continues to produce new lenses in various mounts.
The M-mount lenses offered are very popular, offering high-quality
precision Japanese optics for a fraction of the cost of Leica lenses.
IMO Cosina is capable of producing a camera at any price point desired.
