The picture changed again today. Read this from Reuter's

http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=7859674

Note that film camera production is not mentioned. I have still not seen an
official statement on that. Even this statement does not appear on their
website. No response from the US spokesman yet.

Bah! They should stop reporting on this until the board has exited the
boardroom and announced the final decision...

Just to add to the mess, I just received two emails from the US rep
indicating that they "still have not read anything official from Kyocera,
Japan" and that ToCad has a two year contract to distribute Contax products.
Sounds to me that they must either have a pretty good stock pile in those
warehouses (a very bad business practice) or Kyocera is keeping a portion of
the line - hopefully the medium format portion, IMO.

Now, will someone at Kyocera please step up to the plate and end all this
speculation!
