Its nice seeing new film cameras. Even if they are panoramic rangefinders.

Too bad no new lens that apply to film are being introduced. After all, its the lens that makes the image.

Ken lists a couple on his site, although I haven't seen it written up anywhere else yet. 1.) Nikon 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor and the Tokina 80 - 400 AF-D lens. Both the 6x17 cameras use standard LF lenses.
