Makes the M6 look completely outdated (what at least it was since long). REPLY: Okay, so now I "get" the f4 problem. But the more I look at the photo of this monstrosity - I think a "kludge" is what our techno bretheren would call it - and read the "press release," the less I am able to get the point.

Or, it's a 2 1/4 with all of the disadvantages of 35mm and none of the advantages: * Only two lenses * "small" negative size * Slow lenses * A motor drive with fps speed you don't need on a panorama camera If you want the electronics and don't want to wait for the "M7," get a G2 outfit - at least you get more lenses, faster lenses. You want a Hassie, get one....
