After the Photokina, it was very quiet about this camera.("the pancake camera")
I had to chance to have a look back then at the prototype, and have to say this could be be a great contender for Cambo, Alpa and others.
Two versions are to be released, a 6x9 and a 4x5, both of course digital-ready.
Anyway, I was very excited about this toy, as a Hassy V user i still have to decide what wide-angle to choose (after the CamboDS, the Flexicam seems to become my toy). I expected a price between the Cambo and the Alpa, but was hoping it would be nearer to the Cambo;-)
First official info appears in this shop (still waiting for an Arca-Swiss website to appear...maybe this year???)

Price is high, but this seems to be a hell of a camera, that probably is worth the money...for those who can afford it. Hoping to read some reviews soon.
These toys give me hope, there still is a place for small companies Like Alpa, Arca, Gottschalt and Gilde who have excellent quality.
