Its 33 not 10. Actually 33 is my favorite number. Or 33.3 to be exact. But the real way I screwed it up is the money Because if its 32,000 bucks instead of $21,225 then the Fuji Hassy you then could get might be in a different league. Wait a minute I'll check...... ...ok I'm back. The more expensive Hassy's have the same size sensor. But now I see the real problem...... The real problem is there are all kinds of cheaper Hassy H's and V's. $17,995.95 for the H3DII-31 SLR Digital Camera Kit with 80mm Lens $11,999.95 for the 503CWD SLR Digital Camera Kit with 40mm Lens And the one from my viewpoint as a photographer who didn't sell his Hassy Zeiss glass for peanuts but just held on to them is the 503CWD As its chump change 12 grand and fits all my glass. I can almost by three of them for the price of an S2. This for me makes the S2 dreams recede gently into the sunset. Building a set of S2 glass would cost what?
