Patriot Aigo MZ-D clone
Chinese Engadget (quite trustworthy resource) has reported the rumors that Chinese manufacturer Patriot Aigo in cooperation with Carl Zeiss planning to roll out first China DSLR with Leica-M mount. What’s most interesting is that Engadget has illustrated this rumor with something looking just like Pentax MZ-D 2001 6Mp full-frame DSLR prototype with Patriot Aigo logo on it:
Here is how the MZ-D looks like:
Yes, the first image is undoubtedly poorly photoshopped MZ-D. But it’s nice to see that its memory still lives in people’s hearts.

Not just like, they are identical–smell some copyright infringement here, lol.

The register distance of a Leica M Mount is way too short to allow for the physical space for a mirror box.

That how it’s written at Engadget.

I think there is a mistake. Leica R in the place of Leica M. But this way too doesn’t looks a credible “information”.
