It is a Japanese camera with a Japanese lens, and I am not the least bit
impressed with it. How about a Japanese Leicaflex... what would it be like?
As far as it not being in competition with the M6, you got that right. The
M6 is in a far different place than the Hasselblad.

Here is a question for all of you. If the Internet was around when Leitz
set up a plant to make cameras in Canada, would there be an adverse
reaction to it? I suspect there would be, and the comments about 'Fine
Canadian Optics' would be a flying.
