Just curious Bob... would tooling costs for MF be greater than for 35?


Yes, but only because Kobayashi's recent rangefinder cameras are all based on an SLR chasis that he has been building for years. The only new parts are the rangefinder and a slightly different shutter module from Copal.

He would have to start from scratch on any sort of medium format camera.
