When sensor prices fall low enough I expect to see Cosina package a classic K mount Voightlander 6mp DSLR. Maybe in the next 3 years. I wouldn't bet anything important on it, I have no idea if they're quirky enough to do it, but heck they produced the RD-1 with Epson, and probably made their money back. If they can build a K mount body and do the same thing it'll have to have a lower price point, sensor prices will have to be much lower.
