I can see view cameras (medium or >large format). I can see panoramas. I can see Hassy flexbody. But >Leica M? I have a Canon TS, Nikon PC's, as well as a range of MF and LF cameras with lots of shifts and twiddles, but if someone wants 35mm slides of subjects that have to be taken with a 21 or 15, and distortion would show, I take them with Leica M if at all possible. Most clients really don't understand distortion, and some of them don't care; but as usual, it's important to always have somewhat higher standards than your clients. Also, nothing beats a Leica M with a Hologon to take pictures from the inside of architectural models. My Nikon with 15/3.5 would crush the model; even the M with 21SA is a lot smaller than Nikon with 20/2.8. The other Leica lenses are mostly for my own enjoyment. BTW, the Hasselblad Flexbody looks to me like a solution in search of a need. Maybe if you have a lot of unemployed H' lenses... * Henning J.
