Unfortunately, Richard, the 85/2 sonnar prototype that I saw in New York was 
a monster!

No need to cease saying that it "smells like marketing hype." How else will 
we get a few laughs? I've just been trying to dig behind the hype to see if 
there is any substance there. But no doubt about it, the Hasselblad 
marketing dept. has gone over the top with hype. (chuckle)
