Rhaaa. I've been drooling over that camera ever since I read the article 
mentionned by Fabio, a couple of years ago.

What I'd like to actualy know is wether this prototype is just a mock-up or is 
it fully functional ? From the words of Mr Maitani, I'd say it's non 
functional, but by the look of it, everything seems in working order. Maybe 
they had the same problems Rollei faced with the SL2000 (bad film transport, 
and extremely frail shutter).
