The NikonOsaurus that is ...
I would love an Olymposaurus. My OM-3 is rather worn, and I have a rather nice selection of lenses for it.The NikonOsaurus that is ...
Perhaps one day they will introduce other mounts as well.
... and no meter. That was a disappointment.F6 competitor? No AF though!
When had dinosaurs AF and Meters ... :loco:... and no meter. That was a disappointment.
Just before they bought their first smartphone :grin:When had dinosaurs AF and Meters ... :loco:
To stay in the spirit of this thread: it looks like they're already became extinct before they could even emerge ...
Hmm, not sure I quite get it.
What's the point of creating a new analogue F-mount camera when so many used analogue F-mount Nikon camera models can be had at modest prices ?
Think e.g. F3, FM2 or FM3A, or F100 - or the more expensive flagship model F6.
How likely is it that a sufficient amount of customers would prefer to go with this new Ihagee Elbaflex camera over the original Japanese F-mount cameras ?
To me it looks like a rather risky attempt, am I missing something ?
I agree. Although it's always nice to buy something that's brand new, this looks like a rather risky project. To make things even harder, there's the Reflex Project, an SLR with interchangeable lens mounts and backs. With the latter, I would be able to change between F-mount and OM-mount lenses and to swap between different films mid-roll. That's innovation.

"Johan Steenbergen, a Dutchman, founded a camera company called Industrie- und Handelsgesellschaft (Industry and Trade Society) in Dresden in 1912. The name was shortened to Ihagee (based on the German pronunciation of the acronym IHG, ee-hah-geh)."Is that related to the Haaj ?
This so-called Ihagee Elbaflex is not "a new analogue F-mount camera". It's a revamped Kiev 19M, a camera designed and manufactured from 1988 onwards at the Arsenal factory, Kiev, Ukraine, then Soviet Union, without its light meter and with a wooden grip replacing the original plastic one.

(...) Not only are the 'Ihagee' and 'Elbaflex' logos obviously photoshopped...
...but they forgot to photoshop the '19M' (from Kiev 19M) out of the reflection!!!
