B&H has an add on their web page for a Mamiya 7 II, yet they have no price, limited information and I can't find any mention of this cameral anywhere else including the Mamiya home page.

Does anyone know anything this camera? I went to the B&H page because I was going to buy the 7 this week, but if they have a 7 II coming out, I'm assuming if I wait then the II will be available and the 7 will be cheaper. ;-).

Thanks

Habib, it's not much, but I first heard of the Mamiya 7 II from photodo at http://www.photodo.com//templates/display.lasso?show=546

Hello Poor Habib

Check under press releases on the mamiya usa website. I suppose the price of the m7 will drop somewhat. mamiya has already started to market the M7 2 in the usa; the latest issue of outdoor photographer carries a two-page ad on the m7 2 and the new 50mm f4.5.

The 7II has multiple exposure function and comes in two colours - black and champagne(?). The coating of the viewfinder has also been improved to allow for a brighter image.
