And works in the macro measurement mode closer in I think I saw. Apparently goes far beyond what you could get with the 100 on the Hasselblad and this one has two different lenses which can be used. One is widish and more practical for architectural measurement. Speaking of the 100 on the Hassy there a Leica M or R lens which has specs close enough for such measurement usages? Or is "close enough" not close enough in the measurement usage area when they are looking for something more in the area of total precision? I'd think one of our M or R APO Asphyxiations would be in the running. The 75 maybe? And it didn't say where to buy 5 inch roll film. How many on a roll? Does it come in Tri-X? :) I assume the measurements of the Metrika is in the metric system. I'm waiting for a version done in English units. The Engrika.
